Hearing Mysteries

Have you ever noticed how as the day goes along, your hearing seems to get worse?

For example, you watch a movie before going to bed, then you get up in the morning to watch another movie or to watch the news and the volume blasts you out of the house! Is that because over night your hearing gets a break and 'repairs' itself a bit? Or is it because by the end of the day the volume in the house is so loud, you have to turn up the television volume to compensate, but in the morning it is nice, quiet and calm and the volume on the television can also be quiet and calm?

Inquiring minds want to know....

And then there is the whole hearing and aging mystery. When I was younger, I could hear a device my parents had installed in their chimney that emitted high pitched whistles to keep birds away. Now I have a hard time hearing a person talking on my cell phone....
