The Absurdity of it All

Listening acuity increases with hours logged of listening time and the more time you spend listening the more you hear the little differences that matter the most and you want to hear what the sound equipment will do at that time and will accept nothing mediocre at that point.

I generally don’t read much on this site.  Mostly because the topics seem a little silly.  In this case, everyone likes what they like, almost never the same as someone else on a regular basis.  I work for a company that requires a hearing test every year.  My position doesn’t require the test, but I do it anyway just to see how my hearing is doing.  I am 71 and think my hearing is great.  Wrong, during the last 5 years, my hearing has degraded considerably.  Not for regular hearing, but for the higher notes, dropped lots.  I hear base just fine, but the highs stop at 14db.  I’m told that is normal for my age.  The question becomes how much do you spend to improve the sounds you can’t hear?  My digital system now, sounds as good as my analog system did years ago.  Buy and listen to what sounds good to you.  Don’t argue the point, it’s a futile argument that can never be solved.

"He heard the clarity of the speakers, and commented on that."

What was the comment?

"Listening acuity increases with hours logged of listening time..."

I think that imaginative listening increases with hours logged of listening time.

He’s 8. What do you think he said?

”Daddy, they’re really clear sounding”
