I’m 29 but I get told I look 18-19. And the people who tell me this regularly see a lot of people on the daily, from police officers to nurses to salon workers. When I tell them my actual age they literally gasp or laugh at me. The older I get, the more pronounced their reaction is. Doctors were saying “you definitely have something wrong, I can tell just by looking at you” but then the hormonal results all came back normal and they just shrugged. Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.
That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don’t blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.
I didn’t realize anti loitering devices were a thing. What part of the world are they used?
I’m going to guess somewhere people think they’re free or something silly like that
I’m almost 40 and can still hear those damn things.
Yeah I’m 36 and can hear them as well. They’re so annoying and give me a headache. :-/
34 here and have occasionally felt the need to punch random people who are experimenting with those in public because they can’t hear it.
I remember, in my teens, being able to hear CRT screens when they were on (without of course seeing the screen), sometimes even from the adjoining room. But I haven’t had the chance to be next to one in almost 20 years so I can’t know if I still have this ability.
It’s a part of your inner ear that calcifies as you age. It doesn’t harden for everyone. But most people around mid 20s
