Unbalanced hearing


Wondering if anyone has something similar, and how do you deal with it?
For several years at least (I'm in my 40's) I've had high frequency loss and mild tinnitus on the left side only. The right side tests perfectly. I assume its from noise exposure, but I have no explanation for it being one sided.

I have been a hearing impaired person all my life, and an audiophile too. So, the first thing you need to do is find a good audiologist, one who works with musicians. From that person you need to get an expanded hearing test that will show visually exactly what the hearing curve of each of your ears are. From there you will know exactly what curve you would need to program into an EQ, of which there are many good ones in the market. Will it help? Don't know. Only from trying will you be able to tell if it meets your needs. At least from the hearing test you will have a strong point of being able to asses your hearing loss. Most audiophiles have never had a hearing test, even those said to have 'golden ears'. So, find out exactly what your hearing capabilities are.
I agree that an audiogram is important for many of us. I've had two in the past five years.
I'm going to give the Behringer FBQ1502 a try. Seems like a no-brainer at $100. I'll report back with the results.
Psag,

I suggest the Ultracurve. It has a 31-band per channel EQ as well as programmable settings. I think it might suit your needs better than the 1502, though it is a little more expensive.
