Radio Shack decibel meter. I already had these items from a previous subwoofer installation. When I heard the 10kHz tone, I watched the needle move on the meter. At 12kHz I saw the needle move but heard nothing. Oh crap.
I now have to turn my head occasionally, and ladies' voices are the hardest to make out. That may not be a bad thing unless they start harping on ya. When watching British TV shows, I probably miss 50% and have to ask the wife for repeats.
