My ears of tin are over 50


I read on Jim Smith's site that if you’re past 50, you can no longer hear well enough to really care about your sound quality.

That explains my ears of tin over the past few years, I guess. It sounds kind of sad really if this is true.

Whether you can hear well over 50 depends on many things, there is no bright line rule to that effect. Typically sensorineural hearing loss occurs either due to acoustic trauma or aging (presbycusis). Whether and when you suffer from hearing loss due to either cause depends a lot on your own makeup. The best way to find out if you do indeed suffer from hearing loss is to see an audiologist and get your hearing tested. The idea that if you are past 50 you can no longer hear well enough to care about sound quality is not only an overgeneralizatiom but is inaccurate.
