Human Auditory Frequency Range Limitations (Hardware or Software)

It’s known that the human ear can generally hear sounds with frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz and that the range only decrease with age and with hearing damage. Yet, I wonder where in the human machine does this limitation lie?

Is this a limitation of our auditory detecting hardware (cochlea)? or is this a limitation with our processing bandwidth (brain, temporal lobe)?
