“Heavy Old People” hear low frequencies better??

Tried looking for additional info on this and the best fit is ‘bone conduction’ a well understood alternative sound pathway in human skulls. Bone conduction in the skull does preferentially transmit lower frequencies which is why we hear our own voices as sounding deeper/lower than others. This is also why we find our recorded voice played back to sound weird. As I recall someone at Klipsch patented an earphone that used bone conduction for transmitting some frequencies.
