Oh Oh- Aural issues discovered

Off I go to an audiologist as part of an aviation medical examination, to find I am down 23db at 6000hz. All other frequencies very good, just this one is problematic in both ears. Doc says it is due to noise exposure- like a loud car stereo when young, perhaps. Recurring Otitis Media can not have helped either.

Downright bloody depressing I say! Should a fellow call this never ending chase quits- get a nice 5.1 system and watch sports instead- or what?

I agree about the equalization. Don't do it just to fix this problem.

Your ears don't get to use an equalizer when you hear live music or sounds, so equalizing your stereo will make it sound less real, not more.

The brain is able to compensate for our sensory deficiencies to a great degree.

Do you still enjoy music for music's sake? If so, keep listening!
