Age here is 60 and I believe this to be true also.  I am mostly
a CW contester and prefer 400hz 95% of the time.  But I can still
hear those 800hz tones ok also.  I believe the real reason I prefer
400 vs 800 is that the lower standard allows me to distinguish the difference
between 2 stations calling at the same time ..... ie;

Listening at 400hz:
      1 caller at 400hz and another at 450hz = 12.5% difference in freq.
vs.
Listening at 800hz:
      1 caller at 800hz and another at 850hz = 6.25 % difference in tones.
