An older audiophiles new equipment


The pandemic and persistent wearing of masks in the hospital forced me to confront difficulties hearing or understanding elderly patients, especially women.  A hearing test almost moderate loss in the 1 to 7k range.   Initial trial of Kirkland device sounded like a computer generated voice.   Discourages dropped this issue until a chance meeting with an audiologist.  He confirmed the loss and suggested a Widex moment.  What a world of difference in the busy er of alarms, masks, and frail.  How is this device going to measure up to a 3k dac and 7k speakers.   Listening at lower volumes and hearing details.  I had stopped most of my lp use thinking the more modest priced cartridge was the culprit.  Spent hours with vinyl.

 Did a google search and Michael fremer gave thrm

a positive review   Wanted to share this with those with tinnitus and decreased acuity   “What a drag it is getting old”  M Jagger

You are lucky, my friend, I lost all my hearing in one ear and I have a 100-thousand-dollar cochlear implant that sounds like a busted transistor radio. My other ear is good and I listen in a near mono stereo setup. Be thankful for the hearing you have.
