Was curious lately, whether or not my hearing was damaged due to several factors in my life over the past year, did a hearing test, much to my dismay I could only hear up to about 1600 before I start to hear little to nothing.
How many HZ can you hear?
Caution: Don't turn volume up just to see if you can hear it!
I also tried with headphones

I can hear the 17000 hz - reminds me of when my TV is left on to "input" when the game systems are on
Also, my speakers make some kind of wierd sound at 20000 hz - guess it's some kind of resonance or such.

I can hear 20000
I tried 21k but can't hear it. but when looked at the speakers and the headset, i found out that they won't even go that high.
Speakers say they can go up to 20000.
Headset up to 18000, and i can't hear 19000 trough em so i guess thats probably why.
However you might want to use THIS site, it is way better and more refined on the detections.

Actually 16000 is good. but it all depends on your age and sometimes even your living conditions. (inside crowded city or quiet countryside.)

My gym easily exceeds 90 decibels, where I spend 5 hours minimum a week, and often times turn up my ipod to completely drown out the ambient background sound and to get pumped for the lift.. I knew it was stupid but I did it anyways and now I suppose I am feeling the consequences 
Sometimes I am not entirely sure if I can hear above 16000 or not, I can tell when the sound starts and stops and sometimes it gets very uncomfortable, but as for hearing the sound clear as day, it's a bit sketchy.
EDIT: Added an extra 0 to "1600"

Didn't try other ones but ended up around 14 to 15000. No surpise to me as a child I had major hearing problems.
Edit: And now I have a headache.

The highest I could hear was 15k, which has now got me thinking of Children of Men.

Could comfortably hear up to 17k, had to raise volume just a touch for 18k to 21k to be anything but a whisper, and a little more for 22k.
EDIT - results gained with a damaged pair of Creative Aurvana canalphones (left IEM is sort of cut off, so I could only test one ear at a time).

Generally, you aren't supposed to turn the volume up to hear higher pitches. The idea is that if you have hearing loss, you need to turn it up, so it's in a way cheating. It can also be considerably dangerous considering that whether or not you hear the sound, your ears are vibrating, turning it up at the pitch and sound that it is already at is.. bad news for your ear drums.

I raised it, as stated, literally a touch- roughly two millimeters- to make those audible enough to be more discernable from each other. My idle volume is usually set lower than what I'd have it at for active listening, so by the standard of "set volume at comfortable levels", I was well within my boundaries. I've actually painted markers on my external volume control to mark these points of idle/music/gaming.
