I haven't destroyed my hearing by abusing it. When I was 19 I could hear 21 kHz. Today, at 71, I can still hear 13000 kHz. Live music doesn't sound dull, and I can hear tonal differences in music when cutting or boosting frequencies above 15 kHz, even though I can't hear sine waves at these frequencies any more. The mind provides needed recalibration of frequency response providing that one's hearing changes gradually. If there is sudden damage due to accident or illness then this may not happen.
I have no use for equipment that is marketed to people who listen to non-acoustic music. The existence of these people and the existence of this music is one of the reasons why there has been little real progress in audio over the years. If I were appointed "Musical Dictator of the Univers" my first edit would be the banning of all musical instruments that are not operated on human power. (This would even include banning pipe organs, unless they were hand pumped.) :-)
