I can hear the cat purring from across the room so I guess that means I am still good.

I think I'm pretty good too at the low-frequency end, but I suspect I am missing some of the higher frequencies needed for conversation in a noisy room.

Last DIY hearing frequency range test I gave myself with my signal generator and a good speaker showed I was still good for ~ 20 - 17.2 KHz.

Not bad for someone who openly admits that given what I have done to my hearing in life I should be half deaf by now.
