[QUOTE="JohnG, post: 1163033, member: 26281"] I have been interested in HiFi for many years and I am now retired. I worked in a noisy environment, but with hearing protection. My hearing loss is a bit worse than would be expected for my age. However with a bit of time and some effort I can usually distinguish individual instruments in classical music. How is this possible when my high frequency loss is severe? I was told in a HiFi store that I was picking up the harmonics. Is this possible? I can also notice a big difference between a cheap HiFi set-up and an expensive one. Is it all really my brain/imagination compensating for my hearing loss? [/QUOTE]
