Man, am i losing my hearing?


I gotta get my hearing checked!

I swear i hear things as well as i used to, but as time goes on i feel i have a hard time distinguishing what is being said. Seems like i am having a hard time making sence of what i hear.

Ive recently started seeing a new girl, and i swear she mumbles from time to time. She has been giving me crap about it latley.

I'm only 28, my hearing was excellent back when i was in the military, but it has been a while since ive had a test.

Whats the point in spending thousands on a stereo system if you cannot distinguish the subtle nuances anymore?

AcK!

Anyways,

Havent talked to you all in a while, been too busy with the car and the new girlie. Looks like i might score a free 14lb Vortech Supercharger for the ol Mustang. Will have to redo the fuel hoses and fuel pump, and it will void my warranty, but an extra dyno'ed 184+ RWHP? Crap! That will put roughly 394-400 horses at the wheels!!!!!!
How could i turn that down? hell, i bet i could pull a low 12 second 1/4 mile in this altitude! maybe low 11's at sea level!

or maybe that is a bad idea? ROFL

There is a heriditary hearing loss that starts in the late 20s. Your hearing curve starts to get bathtub shaped. And for some reason, most of the loss is concentrated where the female voice happens to be. This also makes forward treble in speakers sound B-A-D, because you have a lower midrange compared to the highs and lows. A tube amp will sound better to you than solid state. There is nothing you can do aboout it, unlike loss of hearing due to loud noises...
