Are Your Ears Good? Simple Test For Your Ears


Gents.

Just a simple test to check the condition of your ears. When listening to music, use your thumb to block the passageway of the right ear. Listen for about 10 seconds, then repeat for the left ear.

My left ear hears a fuller sound across the frequency spectrum. With the right ear, the sound is thinner and leaner with reduced bass and midrange. Both ears hear differently.

I have a deviated septum, and perhaps this condition has contributed to my imperfect hearing.

What i wouldnt give to be able to hear like the creatures in the movie "A Quiet Place" lol ..... Now maybe they can hear the difference a fuse makes :)

Hearing also depends on ear geometry a lot too.

When i face the source and push the flaps of my ears forward such that they are perpendicular to my head, I think i gain about 3-4dbs of treble gain.

 

Furtermore, if i cup my entire hand behind my ear, the gain goes up another 2-3 dbs.
