- Let's go in and see just
how awful my hearing is. (chill house music) Welcome. It's day 18. We're over the halfway
point, if you can believe it. Where does the time go? We're gonna do something
now that seems like cruel and unusual
punishment, if you ask me. We're gonna do a hearing test. (creepy music box music) You know I love competitions, but we can't make this one a competition. (laughing) I don't stand a chance. But this wonderful
audiologist over here, Tim, he's gonna be helping us out today. Let's go in and see just
how awful my hearing is. We think Mike's got,
like, supersonic hearing. I wanna confirm this, but
he's hearing things that no human should be hearing. Yeah, let's start with Mike. - [Cameraman] How do you feel, Mike? - Now I'm nervous. (laughing) I'm like, "What?" - [Cameraman] This is a scary box, I don't know if I wanna be in that box. - Yeah, but it doesn't have
the little slit window. - Now, if this hurts, let me know. I'll be nice and careful. Get this on camera? Are you sure? - [Cameraman] Yeah. That was a good one. Ugh. - Whoo, yeah. What's really crazy is that's
been since I was a little kid. My family doctor, every year, - [Tim] Always had to clean it out? - Yeah. "Let's do the ears, Mike." I'm like (shudders). - Now this test that we're gonna do is called tympanometry. Basically what it does, it
puts a little bit of air pressure in your ears to
see how well the ear drums are moving. For this, you just need
to be still and quiet. - Does he have an erection? - Not only does it just
move the middle ears. (laughing) Next we're gonna do a hearing test. First part, you're going
to hear some soft beeps. Every time you hear the little tiny beeps, I just need you to say, tell me "okay." There's a microphone in
here, so I'll hear you. Do you have any ringing or buzzing, chirping, clicking in your
ears, anything like that? Otherwise known as tinnitus. - [DJ] See ya, Mike. - Bye. - It's been nice knowing you. Wow, I've never seen somebody fall for the old electric chair trick so easily. (laughing) - Here we go with those beeps. Every time you hear the little tiny beeps, tell me "okay," even if you
barely, barely heard them. - Little bit of a dip at the 4,000 mark. That must have been the exact frequency of all those Van Halen
concerts he was going to. He's got the same dip
in both ears at 4,000. - Okay. - But then it comes back up. - Is this the same as when you do it? At your audiologist? - Yeah, different audiologists do it a little bit differently, but yeah, this was the basic set up that
haunts me in my dreams, yeah. - Backbone. Doormat. - We shouldn't be hearing these words. - Don't worry, you guys are gonna get a different set of words. (laughing) No cheating. - Can you tell him some fake
words that don't really exist? - Say "shmarple". (laughing) - This guy, he heard me saying it. - Alright, one more
part, and we're all done. - And that part, Mike, is
fitting you for hearing aids. - [Mike] What? - So this is bone conduction, so you're still gonna hear the beeps. You might hear it on the
right side or the left side, but every time you hear
the beep, tell me "okay." - Okay. - If you hear any static
noise on the left side, just ignore the static and
listen for the beeps only. - Okay. - Okay? - [DJ] You did it, Mike. - Let me out of the evil room! - [Tim] Alright, who's our next victim? - Alright, you know
what? I changed my mind. I think the right order
should be Justin next, and then we obviously know
I'm gonna be the worst, and that's the way a list works. Do you feel different after getting that earwax out of your ears? - A little lighter, yeah. - [DJ] And Justin, you're
about to get in that booth. How you feeling? - Nervous, dude. - Yeah?
- It's a big day. - [DJ] Any ear exercises he
can do before he gets in there? - I mean, you can exercise
them a little bit like that. - Good luck, Justin. (laughing) He's killing it. Justin's hearing is off the charts. - Say the word "rain". Say the word "witch". Say the word-- - This son of a bitch is just
showing off at this point. - Horrible. - [DJ] Buddy, you're gonna
need to borrow these from me. Not looking good for you. - Dude, honestly, when the beeps? I felt bad about the beeps, I don't know if I did bad on that. - Nope, you did them all. - I did? - Alright, next victim. - Oh no. It's been nice knowing you. - You can do it. - Good luck, man. - Thank you so much. Go easy on me, would you? Oh, thank you. I didn't even read the
words that he's been saying. I could've cheated. Nope. You need my hearing aids out? - I need your Phonak
Naidas out of your ear. - Ooh, nice product placement. You're good.
- You like that? - Full deaf mode, commence. Hey, if anybody's got some
stuff to get off their chest, now would be the time to do it. - [Justin] You suck. - Don't say that, Justin, that's mean. I can read your lips, for crying out loud. - Hey, we got clean ears! - Really? - Lets me know how well the
middle ear bones are moving. - Okay. Cool. - You just need to be still
and quiet for this test. - I won't lie, I said okay at the end, but I really don't know what you said. Sounded like you were being nice and like you would help me, though. Seemed friendly. - Good.
- Good. Okay. Well, that was fun. Thank you so much.
- Sit down! Which ear do you hear better out of? Which one's better? - My left ear's better. My right ear is just hanging out. - So we'll do the left side
first, then the right side. - Yeah? You think that's a good order? - Yep. - Bring my confidence
up, send it back down. Okay. (exhales) See ya. Tim, can you hear me? Can you just let Justin know
that I ate meat last night, I ate chicken. Wanna try to go vegetarian? - [Justin] For the tour? - Yeah. - [Justin] Yeah, I'll do it. - Vegetarian. Rest of the tour. - [Justin] Good idea. - Yeah, I thought now would be the best time to let you know. (high pitched beeps) Didn't even say "yeah," and
you're writing something down, I assume that's a zero. Yes. Yeah. I didn't really hear anything,
but I felt something. Highchair. - Cupcake. - Cupcake. Yikes. I'm sweating. - Baseball. - Baseball. Did you turn the volume down on there? Is this a practical joke? (laughing) I can't hear you. - Say the word "pass". - Pass. - Say the word "girl". - Girl. - Say the word "back". - Back. - Say the word "human". - The word I thought you said is definitely not what you said. Horse? (laughing) What a nightmare. Praise the heavens. You know, that is, like, the most vulnerable I feel in my life, like ever. That hearing test.
- Because you have a lot of people watching you and all that? - Yeah, people watching me, and then. I know I'm deaf, but then when I get the hearing test that confirmed it, I'm like, "Oh yeah. I'm deaf." (laughing) - So who wants their test results first? - Let's go in order. Let's go Mike, Justin, and
then the clear winner, me. - So the Xs here represent your left ear. The circles represent your right ear. So you can see, they're pretty
much on top of each other, lets me know that your hearing is pretty equal between the two. Okay?
- Alright. - Now going from the
left side of the chart to the right side,
these are low bass tones to high treble tones,
kinda like keys on a piano from low to high. - Yep. - And then going from top to bottom, very, very soft to extremely loud. So every time you barely
heard the softest little beep, that's where I plotted it on
the chart at each frequency. Okay? Now above my pad here is within
normal limits of hearing. So there's the low and mid
tones, pretty darn good. - Alright. - This one pitch here at 4,000 Hz, dropped all the way down in
more in the moderate region. And then you bounced back
up into the normal limits. This is what we call a "noise notch", so you being around a lot
of noise over those years? - Yep. - Guarantee you, that's
probably what's causing that right there for you. - Nice. - What's in that frequency
that we see the dip? - More of like the female voice range in those high pitches,
like Ss, Ts, Sh, Ch words, like "search" or "church". - That's my whole life. I'm just piecing everything together. I'm missing all of that. - Really? - Yeah. That's why I
keep going on all these searches every Sunday. "Scavenger Hunt Sunday",
that's what I call it. - This is your speech testing. Right here you got 96%
of the words correct, and the left side you got
100% of the words correct, so processing, understanding,
pretty excellent. Justin, here's your results. You across the board, perfectly normal. (clapping) I would suspect to see
that, somebody your age, a lot younger. And as far as the speech testing goes, 100% of the words correct. Processing everything, perfectly normal. - Oh no. You know what, we can just end it here, we don't need to do this anymore. I feel like it's already
been pretty educational. Thank you so much. Hey, did you like what you just saw? - Now do you remember,
recall your last test and kinda what it looked like? - That general, all going lower and lower? That kinda shape, yeah. - Okay. So you can see, so you thought that your left ear's a lot
better than the right side. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. For the most part, I mean, your ears are pretty much dead on. The high frequencies out here, you definitely didn't hear any of those. Those are off the chart. No matter how loud I made them. - [DJ] And that's after,
how many hertz is that? Like 1500? - So you drop off at about 2,000 Hz is the last frequency
range that you can hear, so 2,000 and higher is where
you're really missing out on a lot of speech. - [DJ] And that's a lot. - That is quite a bit. You're what we call a severe to profound sensory-neural hearing loss. - Okay. - As far as processing
and understanding goes, this is where you feel like your left ear is a lot better. Processing, you got 68%
of the words correct on that left side. That right side, you got
28% of the words correct. - Whoa, I thought that might've said 78 and you were gonna surprise me. But no, yeah, my right ear is garbage. Absolutely.
- So that's why you feel like you can hear
better on the left side 'cause you understand
better on that left side. - Ah. - Phonak's power hearing
aids, without a doubt, I would recommend for somebody like this. Without a doubt. - There you have it. My hearing's very bad. (laughing) Well, thank you very much. Thanks so much for seeing us. - Yeah.
- Appreciate it. - Glad you guys were able to stop in. It was great. - Well, there you have it. We did a hearing test, and
Mike's a little bit low in the one frequency,
Justin's got perfect hearing, and I've got perfect hearing, too. That was so cool, 'cause I
thought I was having problems, but perfect hearing, so glad a doctor was able to tell me that. No, my hearing sucks. It's been confirmed. Might even have gotten
worse, I don't know. But the point is, these
hearing aids are working, and let's keep it positive. Right, Mike? - Yeah, man. Here's Justin's. Here's Justin's. Here's mine, which goes down at a certain, roughly 4,000 mHz, and then-- - Let's add some sort
of dramatic sound effect when we show mine here, Justin. (boom) Okay, there's a car coming. That's the end of episode 18. We'll see you tomorrow, and
go get your hearing checked. It's very important. See you later. Hey, did you like what you just saw? You should subscribe, then. Or you can watch the previous
