When they say things like we lose our ability to hear past a certain freq it refers to at a certain dB. We are able to hear them at higher SPL. Can you still hear a mosquito when it’s buzzing around your ear? Look at that frequency. My answer? Turn it up! @gruvejet I do think you have a point. The pharyngotympanic tube can become clogged or at least restricted. I've been dealing with this to a degree. Two months of Fluticosone and ear drops have helped, and I'm stunned by the amount of wax removed and the improvement since.
Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom?
For one thing, it makes it really challenging to take advice from the experts with good ears. As a result of loss in the higher register, tinitits and unbalanced hearing, I tend to go for dynamics and soundstage as opposed to accuracy and subtleties. How do others who suffer from hearing issues "offset" their challenges? Can we still be in the club?
Current Rig - Bluesound Node 2i > Danafrips Ares II > Freya + > Krell Duo 300 XD > Forte IVs / SVS PB 4000. In case you have suggestions...
And yes, the Forte's can be a bit bright and fatiguing with certain music.
