Even people who can hear full frequency range may be less or more sensitive to certain frequencies so that their hearing curve shows peaks and dips of few dBs here and there. Audiogram from Wikipedia: "Ideally the audiogram would show a straight line, but in practice everyone is slightly different, and small variations are considered normal." Example:

is that supposed to be a profound revelation? I mean yeah...obviously. Has Steve ever had his ears tested? I'd bet my hearing is at least as good as his and he can hear magic!
in the end, I go back to what I've said before...our hearing system has an amazing aptitude for adaptation. We all have slightly different ears, but we can and very much do adapt to the sounds around us. And the range of sound signatures we can adapt to is far wider than a few dbs here and there over a spectrum.
