After a couple of decades of abusing my ears in a shop environment without using protection of any sort, I have a constant "ringing" (I think of it as more of a whistle) that runs around 13kHz 24/7, so it's no surprise to me that I don't hear anything on those tests above that frequency. In the test, I begin to hear a "crackling" noise that's very faint @~15.7KHz, but it doesn't resolve into "sound" till ~12.4KHz
