pmwww | The Mosquito (11th May 08 at 7:58am UTC)
a High pitched noise which most adults can't here. | | I’m 18 and I can not here the 22 khz which is really weird when I was 17 about a month and a half ago, I could here all of them, now I can’t here that one. One thing is that I do not understand is that how does it hurt the ear drum? it dont me. someone in my class has it, and I was like “What is that? oh yeah that Mosquito ringtone” while everybody else started to go, “oh ouch”. I also listen to hard rock music, and I herd that listening to loud things does affect the way you can here the tones.
Also when I play a tone, it attracts my cat, she comes up to me starts meowing not the pain meow, just the “in heat” meow.
I wanna know how it affects you. Do you use it for your phones? and I herd it got banned in some parts of the UK. Just because a store owner wants kids to stop loitering.

pmwww | | Re: The Mosquito (11th May 08 at 4:17pm UTC) | | Inside one's ear are little hair-like fibres sticking up [I can't quite recall the name right now]. Certain fibres react to certain frequencies.
Upon hearing a sound, the fibres will send an electrical signal to your brain, which translates it to sound. If the music is too loud, though, the fibres will get damaged. They never heal, thus after time they wear down, and one can no longer hear that frequency.
Whenever your ear rings, it means the fibres that pick up that tone are dying, and you'll never hear that certain frequency again.
Anyway, I use songs for my ringtones; the mosquito thing is annoying. To be honest, I don't think that ringtone was included with any of my phones except my old Nokia from about 3 years ago.  | |

My hearing is getting worse and worse also. Mainly due to the fact that I work in a warehouse which is filled with noise from machines, and other things. | |
Re-host any pictures or buttons that I make for you if needed.
