?Here's an important question for piano technicians - How good is your hearing?

There is an interesting and fun on-line test you can take.  It won't test levels but it will give you an idea of your hearing range.
Keep in mind that results may vary depending on the frequency response of your computer's speakers.

Quite interesting to let Tunelab listen to this. To my ear, I was certain I
was hearing some strong, distinct partials. Tunelab shows the one large
spike slowly increasing, accompanied by at least nine visible partials. At
the lower end, the partials are certainly more distinctly heard than the
fundamental, despite their volume being so much lower. The partials are
mathematically placed but are not based on multiples of 2, 3, 4, etc as we
are accustomed to with musical tones.

See attached screenshot, taken when the tone is at 60hz.

A few weeks back I mentioned that different people have different high's and low's in their hearing.  I am sure there is a very technical way to express it, but when I have had my hearing tested, I was shown the graph and the low points in my hearing.  The lucky thing is that, my low areas are still in the realm of normal.
