I recently found on gizmodo a video that was supposed to do a hearing test tried it out of curiosity and it didn't really seem to work that well for me. So I proceeded to do a quick search and found one at an audiophile site which was more functional...
http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can ... ring-test/Using both laptop and a set of external
speakers I can hear every tone up to 21 Khz (barely) with one odd exception. I
can't hear the 16 Khz tone at all. With two different sets of in ear
headphones I hit a limit of 15Khz which I suspect is more of a demonstration of
the limits of the frequency response of the earphones I used than anything else.
If anybody is curious here's a link to the video with the test that gizmodo linked to...(watch at 1080p res) Same results as the noise addicts test other than the 19Khz tone doesn't work due to youtube's audio compression.
A different site which offers mosquito ring tones for download (not joking) has better audio quality. I can barely hear the 16Khz tone on that one...
