HEARING TEST

Set your volume to regular settings, as if you were watching any YouTube movie. Watch Hearing Test and listen very carefully using headphones. The video displays audio frequencies that are being played. You can determine what you can or what you cannot hear. Typically, depending on age, audible frequencies will be between 20-30 Hertz on the low side of the audio spectrum, and 10-16 kiloHertz on the high side of the audio spectrum. There are individuals, however, who can can hear the whole spectrum between 16 Hz (Hertz) and 20 kHz (kiloHertz). Because of the encoding used during the audio preparation, tests above 18 kHz are not very reliable.
Please make sure that you do not increase the volume just to see if you can hear anything!

Never fail to see a specialist, only doctors with special training in the area can ensure that you get the right treatment without you having to resort to falseespcialistas, which in fact are only sellers hearing aids, these devices have saidthat as a previous post, are not of great utility, they are not even recommended by a physician. Remember that the shops that sails these  devices, will only try to sell you a hearing aid, and you do not have to spend money with it, only follow the doctors recommendation, and you just have to buy what you really nead, the sails man is trained to sell you a device, but do not beleive him.

No matter where you live, if the U.S. or elsewhere, the population is aging and old age health problems appear, but the hearing problems can strike any age group,from infants to the elderly, therefore, what is recommended is to watch out for signs such as distraction, dizziness, lack of concentration, speech problems, ear pain,ear infections. Unfortunately can still confuse the lack of hearing in a child with some mental retardation, which is absurd, always consult your pediatrician and make audiometric testing to detect the problem as soon as possible and givequality of life to the person affected by the problem.
