1. First of all, not all diseases of the ear will take the high tones
-so since I am a teacher with a low pitch hearing loss -- guess I'm in
luck!!! There are several diseases that will take the low tones -
Meniere's Disease is one of those. Also, if you are wearing a hearing
aid, it will be adjusted for the tones that are missing. Thereby,
foiling the little darlings plans. However, it is good to know that
creativity and ingenuity are alive and well in the youth of today --
now if they could just focus that drive - maybe one of them could come
up with a cure for cancer.!!!

2. Second, is there somewhere on the web that you can get a copy of
these ring tones to listen to. It would be an interesting experiment
in class? Thanks.

I can hear the ring tone, and I'm no spring chicken :-)

When the Bell South woman next door was mowing her yard (with my lawn
mower) a few days ago,she stuck her (Cingular) cell phone under her
bra.She said it vibrates if she gets a phone call.

agreed. i read some studies of hearing loss in pro sound engineers. they
mix at very high levels which causes loss eventually. anyway, the midrange
is the most prominent range to be affected. unfortunately the midrange is
also the most important for human communication (300 hz to 3000 hz).
