I can't hear any of them.







Oh wait, maybe speakers would help. I'll be back when I'm at a computer with speakers.

Ok...changed computers.

I got up to 21.1 with no problem. Apparantly 22.4 has no sound anyway, so we're not missing anything. Since I tried that one, even put in my results as such and they said it has no sound.

So duck_dodgers, why not try it again. There's no way you can hear a ringtone that isn't even there.

edit: 17.7 and 18.8 I cannot hear for some reason.

Could hear the 14.9 easily and then none of them until the 21.1 again. Weird that I have a gap in my hearing. Freakin loud noises....

You don't lose them so much as they just lay down and refuse to work anymore. This isn't due to age so much as it is due to constant bombardment of sound waves. As my physics prof said, if we were to go out into the woods with a trapper from the 1800's, "he would think we were absolutely ****ing deaf." <-- Yup, dropped the eff bomb in class, funny, but not nearly as entertaining as when he laid out the eff bomb on a test once. Gotta love college.

So how about hearing aids? Do they perform like an amp that has it's gain to the max setting? Maybe giving out 180 dBs?

Okay, so nobody on this board or other boards have scored as low as I have. Does that mean I'm hard of hearing or something? I've got to go look into this! I do have problems hearing some things... ?
