Bats, dogs, dolphins, etc. have good ears... humans, not so much...
You just have to look at the neuro anatomy to see how much of our brains go into visual processing vs. the little bit going into auditory processing (compare this further to the tiny bit going into olfactory processing). This isn't to say that sound isn't perceived reasonably well with compelling experiences, but human hearing is extremely limited by bandwidth (20-20kHz), dynamic range, and localization in the animal kingdom.
I don't know what kind of 'training' would help perceive the kind of imperfections good equipment is capable of these days. Furthermore, I don't consider hearing to be good enough to feel 'cursed' (LOL).
