If you are 50 and still hearing up to 20khz like a kid you are part of a significant minority based on what I have read and understand about how our ears age normally.
Other than loss of ability to hear higher frequencies, your ears are probably better trained for listening to music than ever before.
Listening to wives, relatives, etc? Different story maybe....
Thanks everyone. If it weren't for audio(20 years this month), I'd have bad hearing. Because I was rabid about maintaining my aural health, I didn't hesitate to wear double ear protection around F-16's going through engine runs@80% military power.
