Hey I found out why High tones go out first when you get an AN.

The hearing nerve (vestibular cochlear) is like bundled wires that make up a cable.
The outer wires of the nerve carry the high tones, while the inner nerves carry the deep and low.
so when you compress the nerve (tumor) it compresses the top layers first.-at least thats what an audiologist told me.

COOL! Thats why I couldn't hear those darn chipmunks!
