My hearing chart shows a huge dip around the 3k range. No single event
caused it, just years of being around noise. The doc says this is only
caused by 'industrial' sounds. There's nothing that can be done to restore
it. And weakened ears are more prone to damage from sudden and loud sound.
Just be thankful you don't have a permanent ring (yet).

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
