The highest frequency it appears they tested you on is 8Khz. Hearing loss caused by excessive loud volumes, I believe, causes hearing loss first around the area of 3Khz and then spreads to the higher and lower frequencies as the condition worsens. This appears to be what that test you posted is oriented toward.
The test that is the topic of this thread instead refers to the natural hearing loss that occurs due to age, which primarily affects the high frequencies starting with the highest and working down. In any case, all of the frequencies being tested here are far higher than 8Khz.
