This is kind of funny. Several months ago I read about a company which had realized that children have a greater range of hearing that adults. The company made a device which generate an annoying noise at a range teenagers could hear, but that adults couldn't hear. Stores which wanted to drive away obnoxious teeangers would use this device.
Well it looks like teenagers have flipped the tables. The New York Times reports that teenagers have a ring tone that normally only teenagers can hear. Imagine that. All of a sudden a teenager opens their cell phone and starts talking into it. You never hear the ring.
What a funny world.

I liked your ringtone for congress. Did you know that you can regain your hearing that you lost as an adult through non use or loud noises? Sound Therapy for the Walkman By Patricia Joudry worked for me. (I'm not selling it)

I went out on the tarmac of the airport to get pallets w/out ear protection. Couldn't hear. Wore the walkman for 11 hours a day at work and on the drive home. Got it back. It takes at least 3 hours a day for 200 hours or more depending on your loss. Then you'll be able to hear those anoying ring tones or other languages and be able to speak them better because you can hear the nuances. It's why French have a much harder time learning Brittish than American. The frequencies are different.
