But it is a fact, even the person aged 28 will find their top range diminish as years go by.

When they say younger people can hear higher frequencies and that people over 20 or so can't hear it they are working on what Doctors etc. have found to be the general case and just as some people start losing the ability before that 'general' age, there are others that are lucky enough to still able to hear the higher frequencies beyond that age, but when everything is averaged out it works out to be the 'normal' way for we mere mortals.

I don't expect you to believe me, you never do, so go google the facts for yourself.
