The 15 kHz dividing line
High-frequency hearing declines with age on a remarkably predictable schedule (presbycusis), and 15 kHz sits near the crossover point of middle age: typical 20-year-olds hear it easily, typical 50-year-olds do not. Hearing or not hearing this tone is one data point on that curve - step through the full ladder with the hearing age test to find your exact ceiling.
The nostalgic reference: CRT televisions emitted a constant whine at 15.734 kHz (the horizontal scan frequency), which children heard from across the house and adults famously denied existed. If you grew up knowing a TV was on in another room without seeing it, this tone is your madeleine - and whether you still hear it answers how much has changed.
Hardware honesty above 15 kHz
Up here, your playback chain is as much under test as your ears. Many laptop speakers and cheap earbuds roll off steeply above 14-16 kHz, and Bluetooth codecs at low bitrates shave the top octave. If this page is silent, try wired headphones at moderate volume before concluding anything about your hearing.
Keep the volume modest even if you hear nothing: the tone is still there at full energy, and tweeters (and any nearby young ears or pets) receive it whether or not you perceive it.
