I recall hearing this songthis song long, long ago a few times and really liking the juxtaposition of deep bass notes with high-pitched (thought not shrill) ones. Now, I hardly hear any bass notes in it, and the difference between the high and low notes isn't as much as I remember. Also, I thought she sang this song with a higher pitch.

Did I just mis-remember the song, or is this a consequence of my hearing aging? I've heard that your ability to hear low notes declines as you age, so now I'm scared that I just can't appreciate this song anymore as it was meant to be heard. And I have high-dollar gaming head phones, so I doubt my headphones could just not be capable of playing the low notes. That is possible, but if it is, these headphones are still better then $10 dollar ones I had been using before (I finally got sick of the things giving out on me every few months, and so I broke down and bought an expensive set hoping they would last longer). If it matters, they're rig 400 'surround sound' head phones. I don't know what the sound card is; it came with the computer. My system information gives two, realtek high definition audio and nvidia high definition audio (didn't even know that nvidia made sound cards?)

Didn't Cassie's 'Me and U' (from 2006) have deep bass notes in it?
