I am in the middle of constructing a new set of full range towers and was doing some testing/measuring today and was suprised to find that::::
Tho it is said some people can actualy hear from 20hz to 20khz, I do know what I can clearly hear on the low end from building and testing subs.
About 22-hz (actualy hearing not just feeling). But today while doing this testing I found that, tho a friends equipment and RTA said it was Definitly their, ~{after 13-k}~ I am Stone Deaf.
My better half could continue to hear up to 17-k. I was very surprised to find this out and quite shocked.
Seems the years of running heavy earth moving equipment without ear protection up (till I turned 35), it has obviously damaged my hearing. I've worn ear protection for the last 10 years, but once it's gone it's gone!
I think many might be surprised to see just what they can't hear. You young people with those slammen 130db + car systems, rock concerts, Raves, etc. Might want to take a hard look at how much hearing loss you might have aquired already at your young age.
