Apparently, I Am Deaf
This story is freaking me out. There's a new ring tone that only teenagers are supposed to be able to hear, because adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds. And, sure enough, I can't hear it unless I turn my speakers way up. I totally blame my speakers and not my actual ears. Here's the mp3. Try it yourself.

I can hear it, I can hear it, I can hear it!!!!
But it is very, very high.
Hmmmm...The NY Times article has one of the worst informational graphics I have seen in awhile. It lists the different frequencies people of different ages can hear. The graph is split up as follows: 50-59, 40-49, 30-39, 18-24. They left out 25-29!
I can hear it! But to me it sounds like when the TV is left on (like on video mode or something, where there is no picture or sound, just the sound of the TV itself being on). My parents can never hear that but it drives me crazy. Is that what this is supposed to sound like?
Age has its privileges.
yippee! i can hear it! totally agree that it's that awful tv-is-on sound. there's also the awful refrig-is-on sound.
Concur that it is the TV being left on (which drives me batty but Mrs. Bartender never seems to notice).
Hey... I can hear it too... I think this a bunch of crap, but I'll take a look at it. I'm actually running a blog dedicated to search for the truth in this kind of shitty things, it's a shame it's only in spanish, (because i'm mexican)but if you'd like take a look around it and watch some fake videos, photos and something else... if you have any other storys like this just let me know, i'll be glad to help...
THX, Bye.
