Got Science?

Apparently, I got the question wrong- it's not really a mosquito whine, but a mosquito ringtone. Hmm, close enough.

This is a relatively simple question to answer, so I'll keep it brief. Basically, adults can't hear the mosquito ringtone (which is actually simply a really high pitched sound) because their ears are getting old, a condition known as presbyacusis. And I'll stop there before I start giving out rather unfavorable ideas.
