Well, I have my hearing test in my hands. I know many of you were waiting on the results and I have them. I used to have awesome hearing about 8 years ago. Well, I now have very good hearing "for my age". FOR MY AGE!!! At 63 that was like a knife being stuck in my gut. What a let down. I may have to go into rehab from the shock.
My left ear is the best and really is pretty good. My right ear is like a 70 year old's. I basically have a 18db per octave filter kick in at about 10khz. By 13khz it is all over. My good ear goes up to about 15khz with no loss at all. So I don't need to waste money on great speakers. I can just use any old cheap junk and probably think I'm listening to high end Revels. I have had perfection for so long I feel like I have been gut punched. I'm now a one eared listener.
The real world example of this was when my wife said, the music on my 2 channel system sounded tinny and just bad on the high end. I COULD HEAR NOTHING TINNEY!! I went to my equalizer that I had added a lot of high end boost to and dropped everything from 13khz to 20khz back to flat and she said oh, that fixed it. That caused me to make the hearing test appointment. Well, I'm just going to have to adjust. At the end of the day, I'm just getting older every day. That is crime! I should take up drinking........
