Mine was a "gift" from my mother's physically abusive boyfriend, who would haul me around by my ears when I was five or six. I have three high pitched tones in my right ear, two in my left. If you're familiar with the high pitched squeal of a CRT television, even the lowest of my tones is far, far higher pitched than that. Now that I'm in my 40s, it's probably well outside my actual hearing range.
