Online Hearing Test Statistics

Self-reported cutoffs from uncalibrated consumer hardware. Read the shape, not the absolute values.

These curves are a fitted baseline plus 0 first attempts recorded here. The baseline is a curve, not a sample, so none of it is a real person and the counts below say so. Baseline is an estimate: centred on the high frequency limit usually quoted for adults in their twenties and thirties. No published dataset was found for it. Per-device offsets are extrapolated, not measured. The baseline is dropped once a device class holds 5,000 real first attempts.

Percentile breakdown

Read a row as: to reach this percentile you need this score or better. The gap between the 50th and the 75th is usually far smaller than the gap between the 95th and the 99th, which is why small improvements move you a long way in the middle and almost nowhere at the top.
