lynnm Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 OY!! I had a hearing test yesterday expecting to be told that I needed a hearing aid for my left ear as I have been aware for some time that my hearing was poor in that ear. Turns out that I do not need a hearing aid. I need two!! As I suspected my left ear has gone to hell in a handbasket but I also learned that my right ear is not a hello of a lot better. Therefore my new audio components are on order - (*&^%^%$##)! What I find intriguing however is that even with a fairly serious degree of hearing loss I still can easily discern the difference between good speakers,(KLF30's) and crappy speakers. Lord am I in for a treat!! ]http://216.37.9.58/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm20.gif" TARGET=_blank]=http://216.37.9.58/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm20.gif]http://216.37.9.58/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm20.gif If those damned things sound so great to me now - Imagine how they will sound when I can hear properly!! Looks as if my Health Insurance company is going to be paying for a major speaker upgrade! Getting old is sometimes a major PITA but beats hell outta the alternative. <GRIN> UPS - Kick in the afterburners! ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca.1900) This message has been edited by lynnm on 03-11-2002 at 09:30 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Thats too bad . I want my insurance company to buy me some Klipschorns!!! Or Klipschears!!! I am in constant fear of losing my hearing or vision. I am not paranoid or losing sleep, but it is always in the back of my mind. I still have to get and enjoy a $50,000 HT before life can take my vision and hearing. I just hope you get a pair of Audiophile hearing aids! Are you at an age (don't need to answer) where you expect your hearing to go south, or is it a suprise? Good luck! ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.

lynnm Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 I had to put on my tri-focals to read the fine print on the back of my ticket on the ARK. <GRIN> AKA I am 58 yr.old male but the hearing loss is not related to my age or gender per se but to head injuries that occurred when I was a little bugger. WHINE!WHINE!SNIVEL!SOB - Enough Self Pity The good news is that despite that trauma my current hearing problem is the first aftereffect that has ever surfaced. My doctor ordered extensive head X-Rays and says he can see nothing in there - so I guess I am OK! ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca.1900) This message has been edited by lynnm on 03-11-2002 at 11:13 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
