It is not hearing loss. We just get more discriminating as we get older (er. more mature). Our hearing becomes more selective--at least that is what my wife says. Face it, we don't want to hear most of what goes on around us anyway. ;)

I picked up my son at lunch time and he asked me what I thought the squeaking sound was. My response, was of course, "what squeaking sound?" I can't hear it - especially over the noise of the diesel. My car makes some sounds that I can hear and I need to look for but the one's that I cannot hear worry me too. My 4Runner is in the same boat. My wife and boys have been saying for a while that it pings on light acceleration but I can't hear it. I had my brother in law over to listen (he is a mechanic) and he really counldn't hear what they were talking about either. I am also finding that I can't see bu**er all either without lots of artificial light. It is getting harder to work on stuff in the garage, especially if the weather is such that I want to keep the big door down. The scary thing, is that I know it has to get worse over time.
