I do hear high tones with the same volume I use to listen to music.
Well we all have the right to our own opinion. I can tell the difference between feeling and hearing. I'm not deaf . Plus there's nothing new with people having better hearing than others. Same applies to vision.
No you don't, this is the sound-SCIENCE forum !
'Opinion' doesn't count around here !!
None of you guys can hear 20Khz + , you are all just hearing 'something' , like the noise of your computers fans ..
Even if you can't hear an ultra high frequency, you can feel the sound pressure. That doesn't count as "hearing".
One shouldn't be proud of hearing ultra high frequencies. All there is to hear up there is squeals from the ballasts of flourescent lights and computer monitors. You're better off not hearing it.

I know the difference between feeling an hearing.
At the very edge of perception the line blurs. The difference between 18kHz and 20kHz is very small. The difference between 20kHz and 22kHz is even smaller. When you get up in this range, you're splitting hairs. The next octave up from 20kHz is 40kHz. I'm sure no one is getting anywhere close to that.
Being able to hear all the way up to 20kHz isn't going to make music sound any better than being able to hear up to 15kHz. The difference between the two is just two notes on a musical scale. It doesn't matter.
Some people seem to think that hearing above the range of human hearing is an advantage. As you say, it isn't.

The value of being able to hear high frequencies is analog to climbing a tree, you don't need it (most cases), but it is reassuring to know you have the capability to do so (Because it implies you've taken care of yourself).
