Enjoying the read, unusual to find so many informed and similarly aligned views on a forum - one big happy ASR family.
Seriously though, so easy to criticise, so hard to step up and make the difference you believe in. I am grateful for the time and effort some make to help others on here, and equally for
@amirm who is trying to effect change in an industry which still worships the sacrificing of virgins (or similar belief orientated dogma).
Apologies if someone has already asked this question - I am half way through the reading of this thread.
But I wonder if anyone had thought critically about perhaps the clearest and most common source of difficulties in listening for differences between speakers - the testers hearing loss!! Fairly linear with age, and certain activities make it worse, and not to mention the male bias towards significant hearing loss generally.
Subjective interpretations of audio from the limited range of hearing an individual has, does not seem insignificant, easy to have tested to confirm tho I guess.
How well does
@amirm hear these days?(joking)
