[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1163038, member: 746"] Its been shown that if you filter out high frequencies, way above what we theoretically are able to hear, the sound signature changes I have an 80 year old friend, who when we tested his hearing, he was deaf above 5000Hz. Yet if I played some orchestral music and disconnected the tweeter that covers above 4500Hz, he could hear the difference immediately The theory is that it is not just the cochlear that allows us to hear, but some associated ear components as well [ATTACH type="full" width="686px"]35486[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
