The high frequencies are the first to go.
What?
I can't hear over 13.5khz anymore... supposedly happens with aging too. To be fair 13khz is a really annoying noise.
There is a scene in a TV show called Person of Interest where an AI communicates with a younger character in a high frequency tone older characters around her can't hear. When I first watched it, I heard it. Now I don't.
Isn’t anything in the upper range of what you are able to hear annoying? I.e. when you age 12.5 kHz will be annoying as fuck.
