That's confirmed my fears. Just had a hearing test and my hearing drops off above 1Khz. if only I could find the knobs to control the cut off slope!

1Khz????!!!!  Wow, I hope you meant 10Khz!  I'm still hearing 16Khz which amazes me at 50 considering all the damage I must have done when I was younger.

Mine starts going at around 14-15Khz or so which I'm also impressed by considering the extremes I put my ears through at raves and the like in the early 90's (plus a couple of years before that in a thrash band). However, I have some tinnitus which I suspect may be masking frequencies above 15K. 
 
Despite this high frequency loss, I was recently amazed to discover that I can hear 20Hz as clear as a (very low) bell.

Mmmm. I have to check that with them but I am sure the curve is flat until 1khz and then starts to drop off, getting progressively worse as the frequency increases.

Actually, I was just looking at some charts and realized that 1kHz is half-way.  I keep forgetting that sound is logrithmic.  According to the below chart, you're hearing OK into the sixth octave:

Wow ... I can still hear things fairly well. I do not recall missing out on some parts, in the highs or the lows on anything, which I would have noticed in Beatles, Rolling Stones, and such by now ... that's interesting, but I hope I never have that problem!
 
I think I worry more about losing my sight than I do my hearing. As I get older, I enjoy the silence as well as any music.
 
Glyn, I do hear that Bedside Manners are Extra though ... and they can be nice and fun!

Your brain adapts to hearing loss, especially if it is gradual in onset. So music that sounded good in your pre-loss state may well sound good after significant loss. It is hard to A/B compare two sounds that are separated by decades. And there is no way to compare what you hear in your  brain when a song is playing to what someone with normal hearing is getting. There may well be problems however if you are mixing or processing a sound with significant variation from normal frequency response. What sounds fine to you in a mix may seem way too heavy in your deficit frequencies to the normal listener.

My kid made me laugh once when she said, sounds just like a dog whistle!

I can only hear the ticking of my watch with one ear. The other ear thinks it's stopped.

My biggest problem I experience is making out a conversation when there is a lot of background noise. I don't notice any issues when listening to music, but probably compensate by turning up the treble a bit more than I used to.
