Hey guys. I'm writing with a bit of a concern about my hearing of
sound coming from my monitors. It could be out of phase because of
room reflections, but I've also tried listening on me headphones, and
very subtly the high mid/treble frequencies are more present in my
left ear than my right. Is this just temporary hearing loss or,
coincidently, are my headphones and monitors slightly off? (These are
nowhere near pro-headphones and the monitors are really old, so its
not at all an impossibility). How long/what volume does it take to
cause temporary/permanent frequency-specific hearing loss?
Thanks.--MAtt



While we're on the subject of medical advice from audio practitioners,
I've been getting this recurring, chronic pain in my elbow. It might be
from repetitive tasks, but I change rigs frequently so it might not.
Then again, both rigs are set up similarly, so I guess it's possible.

The point of this tongue-in-cheek reply is to illustrate the likelihood
of getting a useful answer from *US* about an subject like this. Go to
your doctor and ask for a referral to an ear specialist. (S)he will be
much better equipped to tell you what's going on and to suggest
reasonable remedies.
