| Anyone take Tepezza? @rar1 Well you definitely have my compassion for your situation. Everyone has something in their lives they feel is or might be a disaster. And sometimes we lose perspective, because not every person's disaster is equally disasterous. Billionair... | |
| Anyone take Tepezza? @wfowenmd By the way, I keep thinking people will think magon is related to Maga. It's just Mike + Audiogon and I selected it long before Maga existed. Anyway, thanks for the links. I see that the people with hearing issues reported quality of l... | |
| Anyone take Tepezza? @mahler123 Yeah, they've already been sued for misrepresenting the severity of the hearing loss, and that doesn't mean a whole lot (lawyers will do their their thing) but it does mean their website now has a very strong caution against permanent d... | |
| Anyone take Tepezza? @wfowenmd I was just introduced to Tepezza as a possibility for me and I'll be going through it with multiple doctors. Here, I'm just discussing my feelings about hearing loss with other people who value their hearing enormously. | |
| Anyone take Tepezza? Well, my main profession right now is tutoring, and if I lose significant hearing I probably won't be able to do that. Hearing problems will interfere with most jobs. Also, I have some mental health diagnoses and PTSD and music is the most comfo... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @kennyc I haven't tried it with a real piano. I do know that the resonance depends on the audio equipment, such as the PC source (or my current Aurender) and the choice of DAC. There are some DACs that have far less resonance. The headphones an... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul Did I say the Aurender N100 DIDN'T aggravate the issue? It is worse with the resonance compared with what I had before, a NUC PC-based system. A very modest PC-based system. So the N100 was amazing in terms of dynamics and resolutio... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul Yeah I had a good seat for the Bruckner - slightly back and elevated a little bit (the so-called Terrace at Walt Disney Concert Hall) - actually I bought a fairly cheap ticket and ended up near the side and back of the terrace where... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul "An amplification at certain frequencies" is very similar if not identical to what I mean. I don't have any hearing loss according to the audiologist's report, or at least my hearing is currently within the normal range. My condolen... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @howardlee They measured my hearing. That's why I wrote that the ENT mentioned my hearing was normal. Is that an audiology exam? @devinplombier Yes! My asthma disappeared shortly after stopping gluten. Some GI problems stopped. We'll see how the ... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @terry9 @moonwatcher I've had tinnitus my whole life and this resonance for at least 9 years. The tinnitus did improve when I stopped gluten recently, and the resonance reduced a bit. I guess what I'm getting from these posts is that my ENT was v... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @willcycle Unfortunately I can't hum high enough. The lower resonance is somewhere between 500 and 600 Hz. My voice is around baritone range. | |
| a resonance in my left ear @sfgak I don't have access to an equalizer for my main audio system. I'm using an Aurender N100 as the digital source. In any case it only affects my left ear and I wouldn't want to devastate the signal going into my right ear. Perhaps if I could ... | |
| Gustard A26 @deep_333 Comedy of errors. I bought one from Amazon and it was dull sounding, nothing like people have been describing this unit. I exchanged it for a second unit which was pretty dull too. Then I discovered driving it from the U18 DDC through ... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @mofojo It was partly not realizing they sound much better when driving by a U18. Bought R26 from Amazon on strength of its reputation among the New Jersey Audio Society. Drove it via USB. It was really boring sounding. Dull, no high-end extens... |
