The 60 second online hearing test. It's free, simple and no sign up required.

How high can you hear? This 60 second tone helps you determine the highest frequency your ears can detect. The range of human hearing is typically quoted as being from 20-20,000Hz, but age and prolonged exposure to loud sounds can significantly lower your ability to hear high frequencies. For best results, perform the test at a comfortable volume in a quiet environment and using good quality headphones. Feel free to add your result to the comments below, indicating your age and whether you've been exposed to loud sounds over the course of your life.

Please note, due to the large number of uncontrollable variables involved here, this is not a scientifically rigorous test, but a rough indicator.

Attention! Always make sure headphones/speakers are set to a low volume to avoid damage to hearing or equipment. When the tone becomes too faint to hear, stop the test: do not increase the volume of your headphones/speakers.
