I had a hearing test yesterday. It's been 4 years since my last one and with constant tinnitus caused by concerts, motorcycles etc I should do them regularly.
The verdict that my hearing was fine apart from age related loss. Probably exacerbated though. My hearing in fine in the critical voice range (up to the 2kHz test) but then starts dropping like a stone. I am awaiting the emailed results but I think a straight line down to -40dB at 8KHz or the like.
It seems amazing with such loss that I can still enjoy the hifi and music at all. The hearing mechanism must be wonderfully adaptable. I will certaintly stop worrying about the less than extended treble of my speakers.
