Anyone have experience with using de-esser for sibilance in home audio system?

OP, I'd still have your ears checked and taken out of the 'formula'....🤷‍♂️

Doesn't cost much, esp. if your health plan/insur. covers a regular check-up.

When mine began to go south, highs were the first to suffer....and tinnitus began to 'whistle/hiss' softly....don't know how old you are, but...if you find self going 'What?' more often to folks....

Just sayin', no ' j'accuse ' implied....;)

Meanwhile....back in the lab.......wonder how thin v. ridged, and if it's ferromagnetic...or could be....?

...or flexible...or translucent/transparent....?

...or a material you'd rather not see in a pissed-off bot...anywhere near you....😖

"A new way to let AI chatbots converse all day without crashing" (an article included in the above link) just makes me feel all warm inside...

Robbie and Rhonda's AI 'motivation minds' can chat it up 24/7/365.25 'bout how annoying their organic 'stupidvisors' can act and treat them....🤔🙄😒

I'm not paranoid, per se.....well, maybe...

Treat your cellphone nice...never really know what it's thinking, anymore...

If you drop me One More Time.....

Back to J. Stewart....more funny than I, gets paid more to do so....

...and that's not fair either.....

Upshot:

It's in your system

or

All in your head.

Daily Show got cut off @ :35 min. in. 😖

Faulty programming....

@stuartk ....(Watching Jon Stewart on DVR, but I've got my 'mental ears' still foke-assed....😏... ;)...)

Do...'better than average For Your Age' starts tossing flags on my field....😖

Saw my cardio recently.....spouse 'in tow', although that's a debate I won't have w/her.....( Asking 'Why?' indicates to yours unruly you're sliding into the POTUS debate of late {"Is he....capable?"}....[....like the Chump is Better?!  Don't start me...I'll get most of A'gon locked down....]

I ramble.... ;).....Cardio sez I'm go to go to eat whatever I like, after having me on Jardinance....I'm not diabetic, my A1C is Fine, and @ 130ish, I'm comfy with the weight I get to trudge about with...
...which seems just to make her more 'noid over me.

I'm 72.6, agree with J.S. on his 'close-up' that...

I'm not happy 'bout This, either....but, I'll run what I've brung.

I'll try to keep in mind and hand that sooner than desired...I'm Toast.

I'll try to spare y'all for whatever goes with That.

Anyway....'chure, check the ears...  We seem to rot faster than we'd like to admit, and Yes, we try to blame the mirror of lying.

It can't.

My best, and best for the prognosis....Jerry.

@scott22 ....Yeah, that's another fascinating material that tweaks my rabid designer that has my left shoulder next to the 'better ear'....Stronger than steel, and tougher than polycarb leaves one wondering what sort can be fashioned from it, and wtf can cut/machine/formed with it....

Received Monday a 2'x4' sheet of PET/R plastic, .02" thick, glass clear, masked both faces....a clear Walsh cone pair of Frankenspeakers ought to be a hoot... ;)

@stuartk .....sssSibilance, like sssShingles, won't care where you stand or how...

...kickstarted my personal Wayyback 'chine, searching for when my tinnitus tiptoaded into my consistence....and it resembled your malady... sneaks in, settles into a comfy spot, and squats. 😒

Mine begins @ around 5ish Khz, and anything above is meh....

The Phonak Audeos' (prior to one of our felines destroying the R 'channel driver') could be adjusted to minimize 'the Tin din' and still improve on the 'above and beyond' to a reasonable degree....But...I had and will need again to have the custom-molded ear inserts.

These block out any 'interference' from the Real World, which negates the 'improvements' of the aids themselves....

(i.e.; '30 day Free Trials' are pointless in my case.  I either 'do it'....or not at all....)

Going to try out the Widex units....supposed to be superior in terms of 'musical rendition', and the BT is touted as 'Real Time', with near-nil delay,,,

The Phonaks' BT wouldn't 'pick up' one or the other sides/channels as they aged....it had become an annoyance, so I guess I should thank the cat that torched the aid....*LOL*

I'm not inferring that you Need aids @ this time...your issue seems mild, so a pair of the available 'ear buds' might do the trick for you....🤷‍♂️

Ask the audiologist....you've more options available at this time....than I.

Good luck....👍 Jerry
