	Tends to go away as you get older and start experiencing high frequency 
hearing loss. The loss tends to be more extreme if you're male. 
Concerts, firearms, motor sports, and continuous droning like A/C 
systems without earplugs will hasten your loss as well. Being in my 
thirties and having abused my ears with all the above at points I hardly 
ever hear the "TV noise" these days.
