In Reply to: I had my hearing checked last year...and it measured just fine posted by Soundmind on August 12, 2006 at 01:00:59:
Dear Soundmind,Mine is flat till past 15kHz and I can still hear 19kHz, because I have always worn strong hearing protection when I go to live Rock concerts, and in any case it is not the frequency range of your hearing that determines whether you can hear the difference or appreciate better against worse, it is something more complex in our sensory system.
Let me tell you a small anecdote, when I was still in sunny Denmark running my shop there, I used to have a customer who was about 80 years old, he was a former first cellist from the main Danish symphony orchestra.
He has long since passed away, but he was very hard of hearing and wore a hearing aid in each ear and you had to speak quite loudly for him to hear you properly, so you would have thought that good equipment would be wasted on him? No so, because his ability hear better from worse and to distinguish between and remember the sound of different pieces of equipment and cables was extraordinary and this despite the fact that he had to hear everything through hearing aids.
I have had a number of experiences like this with different people and they have made me question much of the auditory theory that we base much of the central audio parameters on.
Interesting, is it not?
Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
