I'm lucky, I don't have to wait to get old not to be able to hear high voices, but I do wish my being able to hear very high freqs would go away.
During my hearing test to join the military, turns out that I was born with a "gap" in hearing freqs. While in that little room they did the tones and I did great on low end, middle, skipped high (failed) and jumped out of the chair on ultra high (which they use as a control cause you shouldn't be able to hear them).
Just to see if I was faking it they did the series again with random and again jumped out of the chair on Ultra high freqs.
Drives me freaking nuts, I hear the ultra high freqs that tv's, computers, etc.. emit and I can hear dog whisles
. That one freaked out my dad when he bought one for one of our dogs and I came out of my room screaming for him to shut up because it was giving me a headache. Those things are loud! (and it doesn't help that most people blow on it with all their might due to the fact they can't hear it and don't know if it is working).
As for young boys and girls, I can't hear a word they are saying, don't know if that is a good or bad thing
.
