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.

If that is so I would have to question their protocol. A venue where
everybody is involved in audio production is far from average - in
fact it could fairly be described as a pathological extreme. I'd be
interested to know if - and what - they eventually published. And how
it was peer-reviewed.
