Have you tried matching a stereo to your hearing?


Have you ever had a hearing test done to determine your actual hearing curve? It is my understanding that the average human hearing range is essentially an arc that tails off at high and low frequencies, but isn't necessarily a smooth line. It might be possible to tune a system to compensate for dips or peaks in ones personal hearing. It might sound terrible to everyone else, but perfect for you.

Has anyone ever tried or thought about this concept? I wonder how similar the hearing curve is for people that commonly enjoy a particular system above all else.

With or without the help of an audiologist, Isn't this what we all do anyway, match a stereo to what sounds best to us?
I would say yes. I'm thinking an Audyssey type project where instead of trying to match a set response the user would have an interface to input their personal hearing curve. I'm not sure where the hearing curve would come from, however. It might take a special set of test tones to determine the curve.

This is EXACTLY how I tune my system!!!
