There's a potential problem with compensation for high frequency hearing loss by utilizing system tone control corrections. Our neural processing tries to compensate for hearing loss and we become habituated to whatever our "normal" hearing situation may be. A sudden change in audio input frequencies relative to what one normally perceives is likely to sound abrasive and unnatural. It takes a while for our brains to become comfortable with a newly corrected input.
Hearing aids for audiophiles.
I’ve chosen to walk away from the sirens, horns, gunshots heading both directions, and all the damage it’s done (doing) to my hearing. Through the miracle of hearing aids I’d like to bring back my hearing as close as possible to my youth mostly for the purposes of accurate and full tonal musical listening, and then, of course, to hear the voices of my loved ones better. To those of you who’ve gone down this road, what are recommended brands and non-recommended brands, as well as any pitfalls to be aware of? Costs and sizes are factors also. Thanks,
Bob
