How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ?

Sometimes I have a big laugh when reading this forum. There are clearly people whose hearing is, shall I say, very special. So why buy good stuff ?

I can hear a faucet drip on the other side of our house. It's a good thing, because my wife (four years younger) is almost deaf. Am I bragging? Probably, but I have found a way to compensate for these aging ears. Headphones. I have two pair of Stax (009s, and Lambda Pros), and a pair of B&W headphones (for portable listening). Buying a high quality, tube headphone amplifier for the phones isn't cheap, but nowhere near the cost of a megabuck system. It works for me!
