Here is the reality: Our hearing is highly overstated especially among the audiophiles.There is a large body of evidence that supports this. Funny how this amazing perception disappears when listening blind.

I've fooled myself many times, believing I heard something and then having a friend control the switching of a component to realize it was my own power of suggestion that had swayed me.

All human hearing has to do is distinguish a unseen tiger from an antelope or whatever. Those that can are still around.
