The good news is I can still hear the beer calling me from the 'fridge.

At 42 I could clearly hear all but the bottom one. My 15 yr old couldn't hear it either so I don't feel bad.

I'm 43 and could only hear the first 3, I blame most of it on a idiot friend that shot a 12 gauge off right next to my right ear when I was about 18, we were in a boat and he decided to shoot a squirrel running up a tree, my ears rang for weeks after that and still have a slight ring 27 years later. And 20+ years in a machine shop don't help any either.

Made it to 30 and younger, I'm 27 but worked construction for 4 years with less than stellar use of hearing protection, and I don't even know if you could find ear plugs on our trucks at the FD so I guess it's from me being stupid

I could hear all but the last one.

Oh, and I'm 22 btw.

My sound card is busted

24 and I only heard up to 19.8. I guess my days as a dog whistle quality control inspector are over...

I am 50 and could only hear the First one.

I can hear the 8 and 12 with my meat ears. Put in my bionic ears and I can hear almost all of them.

Ignorance is curable, but stupidity is fatal. When one is prepared, it gives them peace of mind and eliminates the panic button which often leads to unnecessary waste and tragedy. The so-called "reasonable gun control" measures will take us all to the day when the last single-shot shotgun that grandpa owned is cut into pieces.
