			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just learned my hearing cuts out at about 14kHz, thanks to <a href="http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/">this page</a>.  As a musician, someone who has been to his share of concerts and a person over 25, I guess this is ok:</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s fairly common for people who are over 25 years of age to not be able to hear above 15Hz</p></blockquote>
<p>and</p>
<blockquote><p>Musicians have a much higher risk of hearing loss that most people do</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve known my ability to hear high-frequency pitches has been diminishing, as even slightly-misbehaving electronics used to drive me crazy, but don&#8217;t anymore: in university, I worked in a department that had a slidemaker that when it was turned on, emitted a high-frequency sound that most people couldn&#8217;t hear, but I would have to leave the room or suffer a near-instant head-ache.</p>
<p>One of the joys of getting older, I guess, but as a muscian (and music lover) I&#8217;m grateful that I can still hear a normal range of tones.</p>
