RE: Highest frequency an adult male can hear.

Usually about 16khz in the early 20s. There are radical exceptions. I know because I was one. I could still hear beyond 24khz well into my 30s (see my response to Werner). I mention 24khz because that was the limit of the test equipment in those days.

By the time the majority of men are in their 40s 10khz to 12khz is fairly normal.

As for people who listen to incredibly loud music (even headphones) hearing decreases across the entire range but treble is even worse.

Being in my 60s now, my hearing is much more normal but still in the normal 20 year old range.
