I heard everything, except the 18Khz one. Everything else was audible....wonder what sound was in that range?

18kHz definitely, 19kHz was just barely there to me. Beyond that, no.

15khz is the last I can hear, but I definitely have tinnitus from concerts and loud earbud headphones.

18khz very faint, I have ambient noise and I am not using headphones, perhaps that makes a difference. Anyway, everything above 18khz is gone for me. I remember doing one of these on my home theater and picking up all the way to 20khz but I can get a lot more decibels going on there.

Considering the abuse my hearing has taken over the years, 18 isn't so bad for my age.

Just keep in mind, most speakers and headphones unless they're super duper might not reproduce stuff neat 20K all that well.

I've got a set of headphones that can reproduce these levels just fine. I can hear up to 22 but only just. Volume drops dramatically at 20.

Have you guys seen the Sony Digital Paper? I'd love to have one for writing but don't feel inclined to blow $1,000 at the moment.
