Here’s the backstory

Be forewarned: The video plays a loud, piercing tone. The sound’s frequency increases, sounding higher and louder, while the numbers on the screen go from 88 to zero.

When you stop hearing the tone, look at the number on the screen. That’s how old your ears are — at least, according to Justin. And we all know that influencers never lie.
