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


I've been experiencing sibilance over the past year and have arrived at the conclusion that it's my hearing. 

I'm wondering whether a pro-audio de-esser might help.

Does anyone have experience with this?

It has to do with where our brain puts attention on stimulus. It can be rearranged in priority and sensation.

This makes sense. I've come across a few comments by guys who've said once they became aware of sibilance, they couldn't "un-hear" it. Could be, this is what's happened in my case. At this point, I expect it, every time I encounter vocals. 

 

@stuartk I guess I would say, keep an open mind that it may shift again in your favor. ive had pretty intense tinnitus for 20 years now..I have memories of it disturbing me...but I also have no memory of it "in my life" for entire years. Other years, I wanted to see doctors because I was concerned it was getting worse. Finally realized it's just moving in and out of consciousness over long periods of time.

Interesting. And to what do you attribute this movement?
