If you add an instrument, e.g. a cowbell or if you change a note played by a kick, by a 1/16 note, many non-musicians don't notice a difference, for a musician it could be a very hard and unmistakable difference. People who are educated in listening, do listen completely different to music. To notice a difference has less to do with the quality of the ears, as long as the ears aren't damaged, education makes the big difference. I noticed that people who are educated in listening to music, do listen quasi very seldom to music, at least compared to the less educated listeners. Averaged people turn on a radio where ever they are, what ever they do and listen to what ever they blast, more musical educated people seldom consume music that way.
