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. les bartlett Ron Nossaman wrote: > WillSmith.AllenTX wrote: >> I'm a for real newbie...just starting.
