But I'm only 63. f*ck.
When you listen to Pepper, a version with the run out, do you get anything when the tone is playing...the one John put there 'to annoy your dog'?

I'll ask my wife later today if she can hear those bells. It could have something to do with the fact that my speakers aren't the most accurate ones I could find. But it's likely that due to aging and 25 years of tinnitus, my hearing is going for a dump.

No, I can't hear 15 KHz. I can see it in spectral, but I can't hear it. I never could.

I can't exactly hear it but I can feel it. Feeling of pressure inside my ears.

I have fairly inexpensive speakers. They sound all right, but they're not Altec monitors or JBL. There's a possibility that my stereo system and/or speakers can't reproduce frequencies that high. If I had a better system to listen on, maybe I could hear it. I don't know now.

Headphones?

and if you use headphones,
play them once correctly
and the second time the other way around
with the right speaker over the left ear and left speaker over the right ear
because sometimes the loss is more pronounced on one side.

AKG 240M. I can see it, but I can't hear it. I'll wait until my wife is able to listen to high frequencies and get back to you. Otherwise, it's been a couple of years that everything has gone to shit, and I can't do anything about it, and this is just another thing. I'm still able to work on frequencies well below 8900 Hz, and reproduce restoration procedures that I know work from experience. So don't count me out just yet.

I mean, I learned how to play "Babylon Sisters" on the electric piano today. That's something, isn't it?
