Having played about with EQ a fair bit within sonar on my half-decent Alesis prolinear monitors, and even with my less than perfect hearing these days, I can hear down to about 20 HZ, but as said, once down any further than that its more a question of 'feeling' the vibrations rather than 'hearing' them.
Actually it quickly becomes easier to hear the doors and various instruments in my room start vibrating once you go down below 20 HZ or thereabouts. I often tend to put a filter on to take out most frequencies below about 27 HZ as they take up a lot of headroom in the mix, and seeing as how most people can't hear the frequencies down there (either because of their hearing, or as is more often the case, because of poor speakers they're using.), your not really cutting anything out of the mix.
