fredcdobbs...You're just subject to the same limitations that many here are subject to, but are loathe to admit....imho. Yours truly as well....;)
Tinnitus for me is a consistent non-varying 'hiss'; ignorable when occupied, but becomes my version of 'counting sheep' @ bedtime....
That, and todays' visit to an audiologist confirmed major mid-range loss in both ears; low and high Hz are 'acceptable', but mids....blotto...major dB down....
Getting fitted tomorrow for a pair of Phonak Audeo Marvel B90's.
Since they get programed for my state of being, I'm definitely going to query the nice audiologist about how the initial eq is done, to see if 'flat response' means the same for them as for me.
The Audeos' do have an 'onboard eq', but it's pretty basic compared to the 1/3 octave eqs' I have at my disposal. But one of the features of said equalizers is the means of adjusting themselves (and my equipment) to 'run the room' with flat response...within reasonable limits, of course....
Now....I've gotten used to listening to said space with my damaged ears.
It ought to be 'interesting' to learn and hear what I've apparently not been hearing previously. Now, there's an opportunity in that....
Maybe I'll have to play EVERYTHING I've got to 'learn' them all over again. *L*
Divine torture, of some sort....;)
I wear 'roadie' ear plugs to concerts, anyway. It's not the performance that's an issue for me, it's the 'pink noise' of the cheering crowd that's an annoyance for me.
Enjoy the music despite ourselves....;)
Cheers, J
