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

I'm getting older but my hearing is still intact. I can hear a faucet drip on the other side of our house. It's a good thing, because my wife (four years younger) is almost deaf. Am I bragging? Probably, but I have found a way to compensate for these aging ears. Headphones. I have two pair of Stax (009s, and Lambda Pros), and a pair of B&W headphones (for portable listening). Buying a high quality, tube headphone amplifier for the phones isn't cheap, but nowhere near the cost of a megabuck system. It works for me! 

cleeds,

Exactly.  

A thread asking “how good is your hearing?” is certainly a reasonable topic for a thread.  But the OP makes it clear the thread actually wasn’t started with good intentions, but is rather an occasion for inna to insult the hearing of others and have a “laugh” at others expense.  Oh...and if anyone notices this obvious fact it’s “who, little old me? If you think I meant to diss anyone’s hearing  - that’s on you, not him.  

We we should ask members like inna to do better than start baiting threads like this, that start with self-satisfied implied insults.

If this thread takes an informative direction it will be despite the OP.

Ah, so now the reason for the weird OP comes out.   It was just an excuse for Inna to make a personal (and ridiculous) rant against digital sources.  Maybe try a less misleading thread the next time?

Inna knows what he is doing. Go on.

Hearing that measures good is sometimes not too good. Hearing that measures bad is sometimes very good. plus people hear differently in different rooms. It can be very exasperating.
