I can hear all of them, without any problem, I'm 28 y old, been listening to Casette, CD, MP3 player since 12y old, maybe each ****ing day of my pitiful life.
Cassettes only reproduce music to 15kHz. Most of the sound perceived in music is below 4kHz (fourth harmonic of high C, iirc).
Live music, on the other hand, has far more sound energy than what your iPod or Walkman earphones can put out. Horns and cymbals will do a number on your high frequency hearing.
Power tools do far more damage to high frequency hearing than music. I had more hf hearing loss from a few years of work with chainsaws than 20 years of music before that.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

I could hear all of them (mp3 format), but indeed those 'below my age' (I'm 47) are very faint and I would surely not hear them in a crowded place. They would just appear to be some faint, unidentified annoying background sound, giving me unexplained headache after some time.
With other headphones, or with loudspeakers, I could not hear anything higher than 14kHz, while younger people in the room could well.
Nobody, including 18yo girl, could hear anything higher than 20kHz, so, maybe the (cheap) loudspeakers could not produce them at all. We didn't check with the cat, and we don't have any dog around.
In our small group, for same age, women could definitively hear higher frequencies than men.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.

PS Nice avatarModern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
