"I Trust My Ears"


Do you? Can you? Should you?

I don’t. The darn things try to trick me all the time!

Seriously, our ears are passive sensors. They forward sonic data to our brains. Ears don’t know if the data in question represents a child crying, a Chopin prelude, or a cow dropping a cowpie. That’s our brains’ job to figure out.

Similarly, our brains decide whether A sounds better than B, whether a component sounds phenomenal, etc.

So, "I trust my ears" should really be "I trust my brains".

And that has a different ring to it, doesn’t it?

HO, it’s your brain making sense of your ears....both compromised by a variety of influences of the former and the quality of the latter’s conversion.
Not surprised at all of the means and methods available and how we discern what and how the synthesis of equipment choices can drive the preferences we extoll...

One persons’ steak is another’s baloney, to be coarse about it.

My Pixel drives my aids rather nicely, since the latter pair is literally dialed in for my ears’ limitations...Digital correction at the canal levels, a significance difference between the onboard L v. R....

Makes for a great standard to work towards....👍😎

Having the curves for both ears for reference supplied by the audiologist who was intrigued by why I asked for them.  Made for a batch of print-outs, too. *L*
