Dang it, I'm Deaf....

I've been deaf in my right ear since I was a young child

So this isn't a new or recent development and have never experienced listening to music any other way

When doing critical listening I do not face the speakers

If I do, the sound is left channel dominate and I find myself wondering if the right channel is even working

I sit with my left ear facing the speakers and able to enjoy full stereo sound and hear both channels evenly

When I made this discovery, I'd estimate that the listening experience was improved by 50% and found that actually listen at lower volume

I don't know the science or audiology for rhyme or reason, I just know that's what has worked best for me

Try Homeopathy.

I lost 70% of my left side hearing. And I got it back in about one month after treatment.

All this after 3  months of Western Medicine that did not work, I had nothing to lose.

Do not give up!

There's a pretty good movie on Amazon called Sound of Metal about a drummer who loses his hearing and finally settles for a cochlear implant. It's a pretty sobering perspective from a guy who loves to drum.

i will add you to my prayer list. I know the dealer who helps the guy in the video. A super guy - Eric at Gig Harbor Audio. The mono idea has merit as does an omni. I had some hearing challenged clients long ago that all seemed to gravitate and love the Shahinian Obelisk - for what it’s worth.

Best to you

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, Russ.

I have hyperacusis, which is the polar opposite of your condition. It's sensitivity to high frequencies that can cause migraine type pain.
