Whole new world

Listening to Dexter Gordon One Flight Up to enjoy a relaxing Sunday evening. Playing at moderate volume and for whatever reason decided to cup my hands behind my ears. OMG. I know we all obviously hear more when doing this but the difference was startling. Sounds like a blanket has been taken off the speakers and Dexter is in the room. Problem is I thought he was before but now I can’t get over the difference. Makes me feel sad that my hearing is that bad. I’m only 48.

 

I’m sure many if not most of us have tried this. What say you?

Just did it for awhile a few minutes ago. Have been doing it for years when a section of the music comes along and maybe I want to hear it a bit louder, but just for a moment. 

 The classical piece that I am listening to now has such a dynamic range, it makes it difficult to know where to set the volume, so I do the ear thing every now and then.
