@EtyDave can you please check with Etymotic sales page team? I have observed that the International option does not include my country Malaysia
The better question is, can anyone actually hear beyond 16 kHz? I am pretty certain at the age of 46 I am unable to hear anything above 15k
I am there with you guys, too... Decided to have my hearing tested 2 years ago (after not testing it for probably 20 years), and my hearing was very good for my age, but unfortunately they only test to 10K (or was it 12K?)...I'm with you here. You're unlikely to hear that...
However, the theory I heard multiple times from audio engineers and people that designs amps: despite not being audible, the human ears and brain use "cues" from high frequencies up to 30K or so for timing and spatial decoding of the audible frequencies.
In other words: you cannot hear notes in those frequencies, but if they were omitted - your brain would "feel" something is weird or missing.
