A fellow audiophile friend of mine suggested that I take an online hearing test intended for audiophiles, and I was surprised to find that I had hardly any hearing at all above 3 kHz, and that the decline was steep in the graph from 20 to 20K. There's more money spent on audio equipment than I'd care to admit just going to waste out in my living room that hasn't been used in more than five years.
