How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ?

Sometimes I have a big laugh when reading this forum. There are clearly people whose hearing is, shall I say, very special. So why buy good stuff ?

I can't explain it. I guess you just have to know what you're listening for. I'm sure that 20 years ago my hearing was much better, but thankfully I can still appreciate my gear and the music that it plays. When I can no longer do that, I guess I'll post my stuff here for sale and go back to reading books at night :)
