ETD to the Rescue for Hearing Impaired?

I tuned for Avery Todd at UH for several years, and he always complained 
that my highs and lows were always too low. I thought he was just too 
critical.  But when I got my hearing aids, I found I had lost a whole 
world and didn't know it. If one has lost even a relatively modest part 
of hearing, everything about sound changes, and no matter what a danged 
machine says, the ears are going to hear what they hear. I found out the 
hard way.  I think all tuners over the age of 40 should have their 
hearing checked annually, but the probably seems unreasonable. But we're 
in the hearing business, and if ours is impaired we simply cannot do 
justice to ourselves and our customers.
