    How's your hearing? (I'm an ex-DJ, ex-sound guy and ex-band member) :)

    Normal for my age according to my audiologist. He said it's way better than that of many of his patients in his twenties whose hearing is already ruined for good.

    Left ear 25 db dip/right ear 33 db at 4 khz. Dialog good, cymbals good. Some tinnitus, comes and goes, doesn't bother me much and it's been there since I can remember. Watch telly at very low volumes; even my wife (13 years younger than me) says ¨why so low, I can't make out what they're saying !

    I rarely use headphones (beach/travel Sennheiser CX1/TV Behringer HPM-1000) and only listen to reggae with them (moderate volumes). At home I blast extreme metal subgenres through my floorstanders and sub, but only twice a week, some 60-120' per sitting.

    Nor do I. The whole purpose of the forum, in the first place, is to exchange ideas and information.

    If something doesn't interest me, I usually don't keep on reading it.

    With the huge scope of subjects in the the SHF's, there are all kinds of discussions going on.

    I don't ever recall jumping in on a tread that I had no interest in and suggesting that it be shut down, because I have no interest or don't happen to agree with the topic?

    Respect to you sir. Only a person whose health is important to them could give such an answer. :edthumbs:

    Love me some Wax:) I would have said "my left ears good, but the tweeter is blown in my right ear" and it is. .. but thanks to the mysteries of the brain it has a balance knob and tone controls... huh?

    The figures I provided are expectable, normal presbycusics for a guy my age. Would I have a better audiogram had I not attended any gigs, bars, discos, or never blasted music at home ? Gee, that woulda been a hell of a boring life !! My hearing is still damned good !

    Dead on about that, as I also read the comic books when I was a kid. Maybe the costume will appear on the 2d season, as was the case with DDevil ?

    I finished the available series. It is just OK for me, but didn't stop me from watching all. :)

    I thought Power Man and Iron Fist was a cool comic when I was a kid. They had interracial relationships which I thought was cool at 11 years old.
