Interesting stuff, Andy.

Apparently, my ears are five years older than I am.

Must have got them secondhand.

Mine seem to be mismatched!

The left ear is three years older than I am and the right ear three years younger.

Hmm 74 but as I'm fast approaching 80 I guess I should be satisfied with that.

Well this clinches it.

We must all stop chasing “that sound” — because we can’t hear it :)

With age, hearing sensivity decrease, particularly for higher frequencies...
