RE: Just yesterday I had my hearing aids adjusted at Costco, as I was losing

I Question how continuous amplification will prevent process degradation. admittedly, I am not a professional working in the field, but a real medical hearing test is not a "do you hear this" yes or no deal.

the fact that the mind will report sounds that are not there as reality must be incorporated into the hearing assessment. that is why hearing test are correctly structured to identify a range considered normal or not, to account for the phantom reports of sounds heard that were not generated. there are no objectively accurate tests, like you identified 98 out of 100 test tones. heading tests can only be subjective.

not to knock the undoubtably useful service Costco provides, just trying to hopefully provide some interesting food for thought , that most audiophiles should be acquainted with. I'm sure the info would save more than a fe people from buying very expensive equipment or wires, because of what someone thought they heard.

of course, the interesting part is that what one thinks they heard is their only reality, what you think is heard becomes one's reality . much the same as the first impression of an optical illusion.
