Does that track with our aging hearing? At 63 I believe I still hear pretty well but it may be whistling past the graveyard. :-)

And I was flirting with a cute 40 something at the grocery store this A.M.
Why give up?
63 is the new 20KHZ...: )
Or at least 14KHZ.

Actually, low frequencies still are easy to hear. It's the highs that have receeded a bit, to the point where cartridges that were excessively bright and used to send me screaming from the room are now quite acceptable.
What's interesting in this aging process is how well I still can discriminate what sounds like real music, probably based more on tone, pace and harmonics. I know an older recording engineer (now age 73) who still has incredible music acuity, despite loss of hearing. FR is certainly only one small part of the story.
