It is not you, the sound really is getting worse

I can only speak for myself.....which is good, because it's wierd when I talk in tongues, but....

The best improvement in my hearing recently, esp. with regard to dialogue in movies, video...and even with my system....

Phonak Audeo M-R (M90)

Beside tinnitus, my mid-frequency loss was quite substantial.
Funny thing, the lows and highs were relatively good to better; just the opposite of most.

Funnier yet, the settings of my eqs' didn't need substantial tweaks.  The benefits of DAC, and setting up 'flat'.  Everything just became more 'clear'.

I'd been considering bluetoothed headphones...now, built-in. *S*
Even on-board eq, but it's parametric....can be run flat though.

Links to my cell as well....

Spouse sez it's the best 6K$ I've spent on audio ever. *L*
Won't argue about that...;)

Go get your ears scanned....you can get surprised, too.

I do take them out if I'm paying attention to room acoustics, though....some additional 'hardware' between the space and my 'space' doesn't 'read' quite the same.  But the + overall is worth it....;)

Good to know but I don’t think I am there yet.

N doubt AJ’s credential is unblemished. Sounds like a sweet deal. 

My hearing issue is really more with getting the listening area dead quiet!  Like never!   Don’t know about any of you, but I’ve got full on LAX-level noise from other humans in the house.  My system can easily crank up to destroy all competing sound sources in a 300 yard radius, but that’s not quality listening, and it’s certainly not going to be tolerated no way no how by you know who. So, I’m just waiting for the day I can actually listen to music/movies again at the proper levels...that means listening alone 99% of the time. That’s just not going to happen for awhile. And forget the movie theater, everyone here has made the case well enough that it’s mostly A  bad experience, even if you get lucky once in a while and the sound is dialed in right.
