@eclectic That is so stupid that you got points off for being completely incapable of something. But much congrats to passing!

@eclectic I hope you did not lose points because of it!

@eclectic I suppose the same thing is with me and mid-tones. Being with middle frequency hearing loss as well, I cannot perceive them over other sounds. How do I know about these? I was basically told last year about them. It is not something I can comprehend, but I do know it exists. I suppose something you never experience, is just an unknown for awhile.

Speech is easily muffled for me and I have processing issues for speech as well, requiring captions and such.

@eclectic I definitely know that humans are very adaptable to many different situations, you just get used to everything. For things you cannot do, there are alternative solutions to it all.

It is fine, I have accepted that my hearing is not the best and is slowly going away. It does not bother me at all.

@eclectic Ah, I cannot hear beyond 10-12KHz as well, in both ears. I know for 12KHz the sound has to be like 90dB before I can hear it quietly.

My left ear hears much better than my right. My right ear is muffled, everything sounds like a blender even running water, pitch is off, and often times sounds like a dying cassette player. Although my right ear drum is not the perfect shape.

@eclectic It is okies! No worries!

For directional sounds, I do not feel like there are any issues with it. The brain will happily compensate for things. However, if I got the pitched corrected in my hearing aids I would have to get used to it again.

I suppose if one sound was played in one ear and another in the other, it would sound a bit different, I would just notice the pitch being different.

@eclectic I can understand how it could be annoying!

Ah, are you deaf in only one ear, if I may ask?

@eclectic I suppose that there is Tinnitus as well, but I lived with it my entire life and it has never bothered me. It just feels normal to me.

@behold3r I would gently pet and keep warm!

@eclectic I have not talked to them at all, it is not really much of a concern for me at all. With my hearing aids off, my right ear is still higher pitched. It is more noticeable with hearing aids on due to the amplification of sound to normal.

As for music, it does not really affect me at all since I am used to it. I listen to it regardless, but I had to get used to hearing aids since everything used to be dull sounding.
