style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;font-weight:bold'>I will
be totally honest about my case. After using the Verituner for over a year, and
doing almost no aural work, my ear got really lazy. I didn’t lose any
abilities to hear, but I did lose a lot of the <i><u><span style='font-style:
italic'>confidence</span></u></i> I had before that I could do it – just me
and a pitch source. And, I lost the ability to <i><u><span style='font-style:
italic'>quickly</span></u></i> discern small differences in intervals. It’s
still there, but it’s not as quick as it used to be. So, I’ve made
the decision that I’m not going to own one again unless I start losing my
hearing. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
