And why do we have a US English spellchecker on this forum? Talk about a buzz...

Seems like a common problem.
I had ear infections as a kid which dulled my hearing from an early age.
I last had a hearing check about 6 years ago (aged 46) because I was concerned at the difference in response between my ears, and they confirmed it, right ear has inferior HF response.
They didn't see any thing to get unduly worried about, they told me it was within "the range they would expect for an oldie", cheeky buggers.
I don't have it and don't want it. It scares me. I think I'm getting warning signs tho...periodically i'll get a high pitch ringing tone in my head (sounds like both ears) for a minute or 3 and then it fades away and is gone. Lasts longer after some of our gigs..but has always gone soon after - usually most gigs I'd say I don't get any ringing at all..just odd ones where there's not a lot of room and I'm getting it off my amp and the drummer being very close to me on some of the smaller venues we've played.
Worst of it is I always take my ear plugs..they live in my pedal board...but I just find 'em uncomfortable and rarely use them. Plan on getting some decent custom moulded ones in a couple of months when my finances are set to change for the better. Just hope they feel as comfy as I read and that they just attenuate rather than muffle the sound..cos that's what gets on my tits..my Elacin ER20s are both uncomfy and muffle the sound too much to be tolerable.
Hmm, more good news on top of a day of good news.
