Would someone answer the damn phone already?yell at me louder please...
that's not a phone - it's a siren...Would someone answer the damn phone already?
In my system, the upward (or flat) Fq response slope beyond about 7 kHz can be flexibly tuned/adjusted on-the-fly depending on age and/or hearing ability of main audience
I have old AKG K601s. They're not bad in general, but the treble is peaked, like so many headphones. Even at my lofty age (69) the highs are excessive sometimes.So, how many of you have neutral enough headphones? Forget speakers, as each room will equalise highs due to massive dispersion differences at these very high frequencies.
thank goodness for 'moms'...My ears don't do high frequencies, probably never did, verified in 1962 or so.
I blame Mom, who was similarly deflicted.
It kept me out of VietNam.
What?
Huh?
Not for me, my defliction is more like brickwall.
It's true.have a professional hearing test done.
I certainly already have a small (?) hearing loss. But since this has developed extremely slowly over the years, my brain seems to have adapted well. So classical instruments and voices sound as usual. It wouldn't do any good to pre-program certain hearing curves on my audio system. It immediately sounds unnatural if I do so. That is why, for me, this is not a viable approach.
Since I can EQ any way I please, I've tried various treble curves. The only curve I like is flat to about 6Khz with a tiny slope downward from there. Like you said, I think our brains automatically compensates.I certainly already have a small (?) hearing loss.

Listened to the tonal range at https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator.
Strange... I can hear all the way up to 19.5 KHz, but I have some volume loss from 14 KHz, and an odd sort of dead zone between 15.5 KHz and 16.7 KHz where I can't hear anything, and then can hear the tones again as it goes up to 17 KHz.
Weird.
