I believe it is sloping down to 20 db down at 10,000 hertz
Ouch! Glad you found a practical solution. I'm blessed with less loss than average. 58yo and still hear test tones to ~15kHz. My 54yo partner has bat's ears, he hears tones @ 20kHz+.
Who cares if you can't hear conversations, you can hear music. Best of both worlds. I think I would pay $3000 not to hear most conversations. lol
Only eat at places with good music!
LOL! So true. We've walked out of quite a few restaurants playing unlistenable crap. The music in some restaurants seems to be chosen as revenge for the food in some concert venues.
Explains why so many bright and aggressive systems at audio shows are still highly regarded.
+1 Ever notice that it's mostly old guys with money drooling over the $1M system that sounds like fingernails on slate? They're applying Acman3's advice, tuning out conversations naturally and while hearing all the music. More power to 'em, as long as I don't have to listen. ;)
