How old are your ears?

Mine are under 25, which is the same result as the 'proper' hearing test that I had last year. The audiologist was even more amazed than I was! It can be a curse at times, but I'm not complaining!

It is testing whether you hear all the high or low notes - maybe Ailsa's pin dropping is on a note that is within your hearing but other notes are not.

Mawbroon You say "used to . . " How long ago was that and are you 60+ now? and what note was it said at?

Yes, Gilly They reckon that babies can hear things from outside the womb. It is a bit muffled by the flesh in between them and the noise, but they would hear and recognise a tune they heard often, or a voice they heard often.

When you think about it, we can hear things through a closed door.

I scored 40-50. Good, for a 59-yeard-old with Tinnitus

This is strange ..... my DD had her first (and only) baby recently and in the latter part of her pregnancy she played a certain song that she loves regularly. Now baby girl is 3 weeks old and when she is unsettled my DD plays this song (banana pancakes - Jack Johnson) to her and it really settles and soothes (no dummy) . Does that mean baby girl could hear this song before she was born?

I wonder if everybody gets 60+?
I did too and I certainly used to reckon I could hear the “f” word from the other side of the playground!

I have excellent hearing, I can literally hear a pin drop 20 feet away. I've had hearing tests from professionals who tell me that my hearing is well above average ...however I got 60+ from this test. I somehow doubt it..

60+ for me too

My ears are 60+ too Elegran. Which is exactly right for my age.
My son thinks I'm going deaf, as I can't hear the buzz made by DH's reading lamp. I'm rather glad I can't, as it would be very annoying.?
