test your hearing

aye aye everyone! long time no blog eh. well, i've not been exactly good recently. some loss of hearing and the tinnitus in my left ear, and the terrible mouth ulcers i have at the back of my mouth.. man, it's bad. the ulcers are super bad. 3 of them, at the back of my mouth. those who've had experience of having one near the throat there will know how painful it is. when you drink, eat, even swallowing your own saliva, is very painful. and i got 3 of them!! pain until i cannot sleep properly. -_-

anyways, some of you may know by now, i've now got some hearing loss in my left ear. went to see specialist already. well, it probably will just be lost and not come back. and the tinnitus. oh, tinnitus is the high pitch ringing in the ear. only i can hear it. it's always there, can get pretty irritating. doc say i just have to learn to live with it, ignore it. oh well. what to do. it's due to live range shooting during my reservice. put in the earplugs already, but it didn't do me much help. hoping can claim compensation from SAF for the injury.

just now was feeling a little bored, so googled for hearing test. got one on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G60hM1W_mk), you can go try. but from the comments by other people, maybe the high frequencies >13kHz not working well due to the limitations of quality of the sound. well, at least i found out that my right ear can hear up to 12kHz, but my left ear, totally lost it at 8kHz. did find another site which offers more professional hearing test (http://www.digital-recordings.com/). tried it too. results... my left ear really cannot make it. haha. quite a bit of hearing loss compared to my right ear starting from 3kHz. lol. have fun trying out to see how much you can hear. anyway, supposedly, humans can hear from 20Hz to 20kHz.
