Lv2hnt Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Sometimes I'm surprised I can still hear elk bugles in September (and what direction they're coming from) that some younger guys I'm with can't. 12,000 Hz comes in loud and clear; 15,000 is a blank for me now.

Hunterjohnny Report post Posted March 5, 2015 We do the hearing test at work each year. Too many years of no earplugs in pruduction areas. It is funny though that the side that is worse is the side the wife is on in the truck! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mocha1545 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 I think there isn't anything on the 15000! They are messing with us! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted March 5, 2015 If you ask my wife I am completely deaf. Of course when she is on the opposite side of the house trying to carry on a conversation what do you expect. But seriously if I am around restaurants or places with lots of back ground noise I do have a hard time hearing conversations. But get away from the noises and I can hear very well. I know there is a name for it but can't think of it right now. That is the other thing that goes. The memory. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Tinitus (sp) pretty severe in left ear. But very slightly in the right. Like others have said in noisy environments I cant make sense of anything being said. But can still hear quite well in nature, though my ability to determine a direction of sound has suffered greatly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6ANut Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Glad, I am not the only one in the restaurant day dreaming of huge elk and deer, since I can't hear a word by some of my soft spoken friends. As said above, selective hearing is the best with the wife. "Wait, What you said no to the guys coming over and drinking beer? I totally thought u said yes.

Lv2hnt Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Amanda, thanks for bursting my bubble (lol) --- got nothing at 14,000 Hz. Oh well, not so bad for my age, I guess ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted March 5, 2015 I can hear 8000 and 12000 with the right ear. None of them with the left ear. I also have tinnitus real bad. Background noise kills my hearing. Don't like a lot of bass in music either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
