I wear ITE hearing aids every waking moment. On James test, using a headset, I hear nothing with or without my aids.

Here is another test which provided very different results: http://freehearingtest.ca/index_flash.html
Without my aids I could hear only the 500Hz tone.
With my aids I could hear all but the 8000Hz.

While working on gigs, I HAVE to wear my hearing aids. Without them I do not hear any highs. I know others on the forum here who take their out while working. My audiologist says hearing impairments are very individualized. One solution does not fit all. It took several months tweaking at the audiologit's before I felt I was getting maximum benefit from my aids.

This was interesting. Using the link Eddie posted, I was able to hear sounds up to 4000-hz using headphones. Of course, I had to turn up the volume a bit, but the sound was very clear and audible.

Thanks for the link,

Gary

On the first test with my speakers at a fairly low volume, I could hear all up to the 20kHz. My fan on our cpu is a little noisy and that didn't help.

Boosting the speaker volume allowed me to hear all of them.

The second test seemed less difficult than the first one, I easily heard all of them...
