number two test your hearing now I don't know if you've seen these videos especially on tick-tock they're all over the place it's the videos where they claim that only people under 25 can hear this sound sometimes I can hear them and sometimes I can't hear anything I'm nowhere close to 25 and then I start to wonder is my hearing really okay now it's true that with age we lose the ability to hear certain high-frequency sounds but exposure to noise or our genetics or an infection can also lead to hearing loss a more sophisticated way than listening to a tick-tock video is an online hearing test.
