I remember Urkel-O’s! We still have a box in them in our attic…my dad used to collect Wheaties boxes, and the Urkel-O’s ended up with them…I thought I was the only one who remembered them!

I enjoyed the mosquito tones test. As a “young person” I heard all of the tones. Of course, I hear them quite often anyway. Most of the people at my school (including myself) use high frequency tones. This allows students to hear when they have a text or call, without a teacher hearing the phone and taking it up. I don’t text in school, but I find a high frequency quite handy when I want to carry on a texting conversation without annoying those around me by having my phone continually ring a loud, melodic tone.

This hearing test site has frequencies up to 22k Hz jimmyr.com/blog/hearingloss.html . The article linked on that page is interesting (metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=14031&in_page_id=2), about ring tones/ alarms that only youngins can hear.
