Baseline hearing tests

What good are Pipedreams,Wilsons,Genesis,horns,et al,if one is half-deaf?And then posting your half,quarter, deaf opinions/thoughts on a system or product here on the good old Gon?Is there some way we can all start from a reference point so we know how to read into his or her posts?Somebody stop me so I can slip back into my coma,thanks and sorry to waste your time my friends,Bob
