Hearing affecting soundstage


It's kind of suck that your hearing may be the biggest limitting factor to the percieved soundstage.

The high frequency response of my left ear is a lot better than that of my right ear, therefore the left soundstage is quite wider than the right side. This is most apparent with sound from the background of the soundstage such as a orchestra playing in the background.

Before, I always wondered why most of my CD's has mixing mainly on the left side until I found out about the flaw in my hearing.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Although my HF sensitivity is degraded (flying airplanes was my downfall) I don't have any problem with soundstage. Maybe that's because my old ears are equally bad.
