I had my first hearing test since the fifth grade and it went okay.<\/p>\n<p>They reported some hearing loss around 8kHz in my <em>left<\/em> ear which was surprising.  I expected to have some loss in my right ear, considering I had a pretty bad ear infection when I was 19.  They said my right ear was pretty much normal and within acceptable bounds with minor hearing loss due to years of playing live music.  Nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never had a problem with high frequency information on the left side, so this came as a bit of a shock.  I think the headphones they put on my head were not even lined up with my ear holes.  Coming from a guy who has spent half his life wearing headphones, I think I might know where they hit my ears the best.  Those tests tones are awfully quiet and if the phones are not lines up correctly, then I&#8217;m pretty sure that could alter the test results.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway &#8230; I&#8217;m going to do my own hearing test at home to see if my balance is off ~ 8kHz.  I just want to test the relative balance between my ears.  I&#8217;ll post the results later.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, although my ears have felt strange for about a month now, my hearing is pretty much normal.<\/p>\n<p>YEAH!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was finally able to see a specialist today about my on going problem with my ears.
