Ever since I was a kid, I could hear a dog whistle. I'm in my 30s, and can STILL hear it, even though it supposedly is far above the range of normal human hearing! I've only run into 2 to 4 people who have the same ability, so I thought I'd ask around here on Yahoo.
BTW, when I say "dog whistle", I'm talking about the battery-operated devices (about the size of a garage door remote control) designed help "train" dogs and/or to get dogs to run away and leave you alone. I've never been around the more simple whistles, that you blow with your own mouth, so I don't know if I can hear those or not.
But the battery-operated thingies are SO BAD that I can't even be in the same HOUSE when someone uses one, let alone the same room! :( It's awful! Like stringing metallic dental floss through your ears and then making it vibrate and whine!
Can anyone else hear this? And, do you happen to know how much "higher" than normal that makes my/our hearing ability? Thanks! And WOOF! :)
