“What is fe…” gets dragged off the stage
Unless things have changed drastically since I retired, cell networks still use 8kHz sampling and all kinds of compression. I worked in audio testing looking at different compression algorithms; you don’t want to waste bandwidth on things that people don’t care about.

The AMR-WB codec (usually touted by carriers as “HD Voice”) is based on a 50-7000 Hz speech band, and a 16 kHz sampling rate. Of course it uses psychoacoustic trickery to compress it.
I can certainly hear the difference on an HD Voice call.

clearly a gene passed down from ancient amazonians so they wouldn’t have to endure annoyingly feeble cries for mercy.
things like :
“please don’t I already have a man flu is that not enough already”
“i beg you you , I have a dozen or so children and three wives”
or
"please I’m almost a virgin "
its hard to argue that after listening to such drivel in battle such a genetic trait would not develop.
Give her a sign to hold up: “Please speak with falsetto voice.”

I appreciate the inclusion of the admonition to get yourself to a hearing specialist right away if you experience sudden hearing loss. If there is one thing you take away please let it be this.
I had sudden hearing loss, combined with vomiting, tinnitus, and vertigo. Started while I was working out. My GP misdiagnosed it causing me to wait 10 days before seeing a hearing specialist, at which time they determined that a hole had developed in the cochlea. The fluid leaked out and the nerves died. An emergency operation to patch the hole was too late, and I am now legally deaf in that ear. If it was caught earlier the nerves may not have died.
Always go straight to the hearing specialist for sudden hearing loss. Go to the ER if they are not immediately available.

Probably couldn’t hear it due to the hearing loss.

Some hilarity also (and some unease) where Xenon gas is involved. A lab tech at my previous work had a bottle of Xenon left over from an earlier task. He looked at me, said, “Hey, listen to this!”, sucked up some of the gas, and bam… a deep bass voice. Did not go well with his short, slight frame. Not at all.

I picture a Twilight Zone episode of this where Trump is suddenly afflicted, and begins to wonder if he’s in hell; all he can hear are the women around him. All the women. Finally.
