Getting older and losing these frequencies has been a blessing. Switch power supplies and old school LCD screens (or the switching power supply used to power them), like those on my palm pilot and other electronics used to really bug me when I young. I am sure modern LED light fixtures would have driven me crazy.

I am sure I cannot appreciate music as well, in fact I have sold almost all my high end audio gear, but I will take the lack of high-frequency sounds in everyday life over slightly better range when listening to music.




I have Hue lights in my house and can't hear them. But I can hear CFLs and it's piercing.
