Hello, SoundGym community!
Just created my account here and started with the tests. I saw the ”Doctor” and did my first hearing test. My left ear can hear ~16kHz and my right ear ~15kHz. Is there anything I shoud be concerned about? (tested with Audient iD4-II and Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm)
Thank you for your time & answers!

I think you're totally fine! Make sure to protect your hearing at music venues with earplugs and in any place that involves loud sound.

Thank you so much for your answer! I think I'm going to see an audiologist for a pair of custom earplugs...

Yes, it's worth investing in if you want to keep good hearing. My earplugs serve me for a 3-4 years already, they did lose their flexibility or anything, just need to wash them.
Also, if you're going to audiologist anyways, you can check your hearing there as well. I think it's more reliable to test hearing there.

I can only find tests up to 8kHz and they're not so helpful, but thank you! I would definetely look for a good audiologist with dedicated tests for people working in audio.

@Mirel Hagiu Yes, I had the same issue, that most tests are only taking mid to high mid spectrum, so you just need to look for these centers with testing that allows to check high frequencies
