WARNING: If You Can Hear THIS Sound, You Might Have Hearing Damage

hear that sound yeah yeah it's called tinnitus if you can hear that you might have damaged your ears so i've had tinnitus for a very very long time i've talked about it a bunch in my videos on my streams anywhere in my life i just love talking about tinnitus you know i'm just quirky like that if you don't know what tonight is it's that ear ringing sound that you can hear um if you've ever gone to like a nightclub or a disco or any sort of loud event like a concert and then afterwards you can hear that ringing in your ears tinnitus is when you can hear that all the time basically you can either damage your ears or it can be like an auditory sort of sensation or phenomenon that you can hear that your brain is just kind of like making up the sound so to speak along with the myriad of health issues that i talked about in my end-of-year vlog tinnitus is one of them but tonight is tonight is not that or tinnitus tinnitus tinnitus i'm gonna keep saying tonight is i don't care about all you tinnitus people tinnitus but i went and got it checked out because i was wondering if i actually damaged my ears years ago when i used to play the drums i i've had it ever since i was like 16 to 18 ish i remember hearing it for the first time when i went to bed after not being near anything loud i was lying there and i could hear yeah that i can still i can hear right now if i just stay silent and i can hear it all the time all day every day so i want you to hear it too so i'm gonna go to some website where we can sort of figure out what my tinnitus sounds like er should we take a hearing test first free online hearing test let's go uh the resound online hearing test is a quick way to gauge how well you're hearing so i've gotten a hearing test done before i got it done last year apparently my hearing is fine i don't have anything wrong i do have some very very slight damage to my hearing where i can't hear certain ranges anymore but that's what happens when you bang big bad bongos all day without any hearing protection on protect your ears please it's very important oh isn't it so weird that now when i do a hearing test that i'm in the 30 to 40 age bracket maybe that's why my hearings [ __ ] because i'm an old man uh headphones please one two three what one two three what is happening in three seconds all right how the test works you will hear different combinations of words first and then numbers always in groups of three while background noise varies select the three things you hear by selecting the corresponding icon shown to the left if you get distracted and miss one of the words you can simply press replay to have the last combination repeated ah okay if you're using headphones the test will be done for both left and right ears oh start the test baby choose the words bells chair cat ooh belle's chair cat that's my rapper name as well choose the words chair hand book oh this is going to get hard isn't it this is like simon says in among us chair hand book king cat oh i'm going to sneeze oh sees [Music] i'm allergic to hens choose the numbers five three seven five c7 that's easy um this is like when i did the colorblind test i've done a bunch of tests on the channel by the way you can go back and look at all of them colorblind tests personality tests choose the numbers oh was that a six five four six uh oh it's actually triggering my tinnitus louder hearing the white noise is actually making my ears ring a little bit more and then when it stops it just like fades out that's so bizarre choose the words hand tree cars okay hand tree cars this is going to be interesting as well because for my tinnitus i hear it in my right ear more than my left ear which i think i was told that that's a good thing if i hear it in both ears then it could be something in my head that's causing it but again i went got a hearing test i got an mri scan on my head and my brain and my ear nerves and apparently there's no physical damage done so my brain is just pranking me 24-7 [Music] oh that that got more difficult king dog cat i think this is the last one choose the numbers seven four six i think we're doing good i i don't think i've actually missed any yet but again like the colorblind test people could be like jack that was a five not a seven choose the numbers four three five four three five seven two three seven ah seriously do any of you have tinnitus that are like able to hear your tonight is louder after that it was three seven two right eight three okay i have to put in stuff my result no hearing loss recommendation no need for further action oh because you sell hearing aids oh i didn't even realize your result the hearing test indicates that you do not currently have a hearing loss for a more in-depth hearing examination we suggest that you consult a hearing care professional okay i've already done that so i knew that i didn't have any hearing loss and the test i did was i went into a soundproof booth put on headphones and then had to click a thing every time i heard a frequency uh my right ear dipped on one of them i don't know what frequency that was um but i was able to figure out that i don't have any hearing loss and the mri then proved that i don't have any physical hearing damage so the tinnitus that i have is perceived sound so it's like the way the guy said it to me was that i your brain makes all these noises it makes like electrical signals as the synapses fire and trigger things in your head and your body's making all these sounds all the time like when you breathe when your heart's beating like sitting here and listening can you hear your heartbeat no if you can that's not i don't think that's a problem either but hearing your own heartbeat is something that your brain and your ears tune out because it's going all the time so it would be distracting if you could hear it so your brain learns to tune it out as well as some of the sounds that are going on inside your head and your body but what happened to me is that my body switched over from subconscious to conscious audio so now i can just hear that ringing all the damn time so we're gonna try and figure out what it exactly sounds like i think there's some tests i can do to figure out exactly what my tonight it sounds like so you can hear what i hear in my head and if you can hear this all the time it likely means that you have tinnitus oh tonight is matching the audiometric way to determine your tonight is frequency this is going to be awful all right so just a warning now you're going to hear a lot of but let's face it there's there's no difference in listen to any of my other videos because i've given you all hearing damage already you're welcome i am wearing my headphones i am in a quiet area i've set a sufficient system volume i close all of the program okay perfect okay in which year does this test out up here oh do you guys hear that high volume can damage your ears oh is that a d uh perfect c uh i heard that in my left all right and which side do you hear your tinnitus so i i think it's in my right ear more yeah if i was to locate it i'd say it's kind of like up here kind of up and back a tiny bit kind of like here area so uh tonight is more on the right ear all right let's here oh oh all right okay it's not too loud ah jesus all right wobble what is happening please compare tone a and tone b to your tinnitus therefore use either but oh so i can play it and see which sounds more like mine oh mine is definitely higher pitched than that it's definitely more like that uh b sounds more like mine wait what's wobble hey guess you kind of have wobbly tinnitus all right oh i oh oh that's more like my one oh i can actually hold it oh good lord that's that's it that's it that's pretty much what mine sounds like maybe a different we'll keep going but that's close yeah b b for sure oh that's really high pitched what's weird about this is that i can kind of hear it but then i can't it kind of fades out but i can see on obs that i'm actually recording sound does that mean that it matches mine because it just blends in or does that just mean it's a frequency outside of my range it kind of sounds like it actually i'm gonna go with b on that one even though it's oh yeah i heard that for sure yeah baby all right oh god this is awful i'm gonna have to like decompress after this i can barely hear that maybe i should do a frequency range test as well just to make sure i can't hear that can you hear that there's it's showing that sound is showing up i can't hear that at all some dogs are going crazy somewhere right now well it's gonna have to be a because i can't hear b oh that's far closer to what i hear not that loud of course it's not like beaming out of my head like that it's not at that distracting it's just it's more of a thing that when you're doing something you kind of forget about it but it's when you go to bed and everything's quiet and you're trying to sit there and fall asleep you hear it so loud and then after a few months and after like a year my body just kind of tuned it out again but it's still there if you focus on it oh oh my god that's it that's basically it holy crap successful result one twelve thousand seven hundred hertz result two twelve thousand seven hundred hertz the testosterone could be wrong due to a psychoacoustic psychological and or technical factors please get a medically okay so my tinnitus is this frequency jesus [ __ ] christ hey youtube how about not blaring your ads especially on stuff that's supposed to be like properly listened to oh no no that's it that's it that's basically exactly what i hear all the time holy [ __ ] it's like the more you listen to it it kind of fades out when you hear it immediately start it's really loud but then the more it kind of plays the more it kind of like fades out and you sort of get used to it so if you hear that all day every day your brain kind of tunes it out after a while but it's there if you really focus oh my god that is so bizarre but that's twelve thousand minus twelve thousand seven hundred oh yeah here we go okay twelve thousand seven hundred all right uh play that's it that's it how loud is that for some of you at home right now oh my god that's it i'm so sorry if this is actually like really uh prominent in your ears right now for me it's like oh i can just about hear it and it's like what my ears can hear all the time or at least this year but for some of you that might be absolute agony to hear if you have pure tone tinnitus this online frequency generator can help you determine its frequency knowing your tinnitus frequency can enable you to better target masking sounds oh frequency discrimination training what does that sound really wrong oh oh god that's so that [ __ ] up my ear this is a different test uh different or same uh can i turn down the volume same right okay jesus i need to turn this down same okay different same same different same same same same same oh oh i should have known that god damn it different [Music] [Music] what is the point of this a lot of the app although the app is based on reasonable scientific hypotheses so far there's no conclusive evidence that it is effective in reducing tinnitus wow okay so this is showing how it would work tonal frequencies and what they can do to your brain are crazy if you've ever done um like binaural uh therapy you can listen to things that have like sounds that go like back and forth like binaural therapy and it can bounce the sound left to right in your brain and it can really help with stuff like ptsd or just help you with like anxiety and worry and those things if you focus on something as you're listening to it um you can look it up like binaural therapy i can't remember what it exactly it was called um but i i did it for a while and it really helped you'd be surprised your bra it's like tricking your brain into doing something and i don't know what that is but all i know is that it works for me yeah i'm going to look into this to see if it's going to help my tinnitus in the future very interesting let's listen to my tinnitus again shall we is it oh i can barely hear it now there it is there it is lovely my it's basically my brain is screaming at me all the time isn't any wonder that i yell and i'm all over the place okay last thing i want to do is to see how what frequency i can actually hear um so we're going to do how old is your hearing uh as we get older our ability to hear high-pitched sounds decreases the younger you are the higher the frequency you can hear take the test to find if your hearing is older or younger than you are this is going to be interesting um if it matches up with 30 then i guess my hearing range is fine but now that i am getting older i remember being younger and somebody uh having something on in the background and they didn't hear it and i was like god what does that sound and they were like i don't hear anything so some of you might be able to hear this uh differently than i can so this might get annoying though i don't know how this works press the star test and then as soon as you can no longer hear a sound hit the oh okay oh sweet jesus this is annoying ah i can still hear it oh i can't hear anything my hearing age is 42. the maximum frequency you can hear is 14 125 hertz dude isn't it 20 to 20 000 kilohertz or 20 to 20 000 hertz uh 20 kilohertz that humans can hear that's like the hearing range of like peak ears my hearing age is 42 i do not accept that i want a different test it says that 15 000 hertz is difficult for anyone over the age of 40 to here 12k is over 50. 17 400 uh only teenagers can hear most people over the age of 18 cannot hear this tone okay well let's see if i can actually hear anything oh i i can't hear that i legitimately can't hear that tone i can when i click play i can kind of sense that something is playing but i can't hear it oh my god how many of you could actually hear that at home watching this video right now so i guess anything over 15 kilohertz i can't actually hear anymore despite being almost 31 very very soon i can't hear anything that a 40 year old can't anymore oh man so clearly there's something different about my ears i'm just built different guys i have tinnitus but a lot of it probably did come from actual damage i did a while ago that i mean i don't know how any of this works maybe it healed maybe i just did damage and it's not too bad but i did play drums years ago for like four years every single day and sometimes i would play without any sort of ear protection on i would go to concerts there was one concert specifically i went to in england that we were in this like little tent and some band were playing and i was right next to the speaker and it was coming into my right ear and it legitimately hurt my eardrums to listen to like it wasn't just like oh that's kind of loud like i could feel the pressure in my eardrums and had to like go like that but i was too afraid of looking like a coward for heavy metal music because i was so cool and heavy metal music was all i cared about and i was drums and shouldn't i be into this but i should have just protected my ears i should have brought earplugs please protect your ears and it's very very important i see so many people go around blurring music in their headphones and you can hear it as you walk by them and i'm like you are doing so much damage to your ears that will come back to bite you in the ass later and really annoy the [ __ ] out of you older in life so please just protect your ears they're very very important um but yeah that was my tonight is apparently i'm at twelve thousand seven hundred if only my tinnitus was up in the 15k range and then i wouldn't be able to hear it anyway hopefully this video is interesting in some sort of fashion i find the educational purposes of stuff like this fascinating um because every time i bring it up and mention it there's always people that say oh wait i hear that does that mean i have hearing damage it could mean many different things um you might only be perceiving sound and you're not actually uh you don't actually have any damage to your ears because what i used to think it was um maybe i just heard this a long time ago is that the little hairs inside your ear is it inside your cochlea in your ear that they have the tiny little hairs that react to sound and the fluid moving in your ear and stuff and that's how you get motion sick because you whatever it's a long topic but i used to think that some of those hairs were like broken or something in my ear was like broken so it was like perceiving sound like it was triggering a specific frequency over and over again but that wasn't actually happening um and then getting my ears checked and everything and seeing that i have no physical damage to my ears kind of changed my perception on that so i don't know what it is but it is there and i've heard that it gets a little rougher the older you get so any of you tonight is people out there were part of this group tinnitus asthma acid reflux digestive problems we're all in it together lance but anyway since i brought up the tinnitus stuff in that video at the end of the year a lot of people are asking about it so i just thought it'd be fun to do a sort of i've done tests for like my eyes and things like that and personality so i thought hearing i haven't done one for so it was fun i hopefully some of you got something interesting out of this and maybe you can go look up topics and read up more about all of this stuff because i find it fascinating um and there are ways of kind of counteracting it that i'm going to talk to my audio person about whenever pandemic is over and i can actually go see people in person again and talk to them about it um and then progress through like hearing therapy to try and reduce the sound of it it has gotten better though and my brain has gotten better at like tuning it out so it's not really as much of a distraction but man for like a lot of 2019 that was really bothersome and it really started to affect me and it was affecting my sleep and everything but it does get better and it can get better and it has the potential to be better so hang in there if you can hear sounds in your head all the time if you've just heard something loud and you watch one of my videos at full volume then you might just be recovering from that you might not have tinnitus at all okay bye now

I could hear frequencies up to 18.5 KHz, and I have Tinnitus. That’s really annoying.

[u/GreatShatnersToast]

The frequency at the start has set mine off. Brilliant.

[u/LegaliseLolis]

Seems my hearing is very good in the high frequencies. I already notice electronics noise my colleagues and family can't hear. My hearing in the bass and mids is a little wonky though when I had my audio gram (reverse slope hearing loss).That was from ETD and infections.

So from what I can tell, it's mostly testing for noise induced hearing damage. Not so much for stuff like infections or ototxic meds. But I'm no expert so take that with a grain of salt.

[u/Mission_Spray]

Whelp... I guess I’m deaf. Idk what he heard because I couldn’t hear it.
