Get tested! Go to the AES show in the fall and get a free test if nothing else.
I'm not sure if they're still doing that. I don't remember if they had
the hearing test van at the last LA show, and I know it wasn't at the
last two LA NAMM shows. Maybe they still do it in Europe.
Probably giving too many people bad news - always shoot the messenger.
They were basically using the attendees as part of a long-term study, since
so many people came back to the show year after year. They developed a
database of many people with measurements made over something like a thirty
year period, for use in all kinds of long-term hearing studies. So it's not
like they were doing this entirely out of the goodness of their hearts.
