Testing out your ears

Hi folks,
After this past week's lecture's test tones, I wanted to forward along a few other interesting sites that allow you to test how your brain interacts with your ears, and general hearing perception range. Check these out if you get a chance:

Here's a fairly classic hearing test - the page also has the standard frequency response charts, showing how the perception of loudness varies with the sound's frequency.

This one is more about musical perception/memory, and takes a bit of focus:

A bunch of other interesting tests (one claims to tell you if you're "tone deaf", for instance):

And the student who's aggregating the results of these tests has some observations here:
