Ear Torture

Ear diseases, loud music and noise of all kinds damage your sense of hearing.

But what is the current state of your ears?

Let's test it!

But why Ear Torture?

The generated sounds may be painful - so use them responsibly, protect your ears, the ears of others as well!

How does it work?

Depending on a person's age and state of health his or her ears can hear different maximum frequencies. While school children can spot very high frequencies - but maybe consider them awkward - the noticeable maximum frequency constantly decreases with increasing age. If a person is unable to hear enough for his or her age, this may be caused by a disease or a permanent impairment.

Features

  • 4 wave forms (sawtooth, sinus, square, triangle)
  • 20 to 20,000 Hz (almost) continously
  • audible frequency pickable by age
  • choice of everyday life's sounds

Why?

  • Because we wanted to play around with the audio APIs.
  • Because the competitors did not please us.
  • Because we wanted to test somebody's hearing.
