Everybody has a high-frequency limit to their hearing. It differs from one person to the next. As a person gets older, the highest frequency they can hear gradually decreases.

What part of a harp is the highest pitch?

You know how on a piano, middle C sounds like it's in between the low and high notes? Well, that's because it is. The notes below middle C have low pitched sounds just as the higher notes above middle C, become higher pitched. Same goes for the harp. The high notes come from the strings above middle C. They're shorter and thinner so they sound higher and don't resonate as long.
