So you'd have to have some idea of what your current headphones already do (there's a lot of models that are ~10 dB up at 10khz to start with), and how much more adjustment you want to apply. And then there's the whole question of how much musical content really exists above 12khz (or more importantly, content in music you listen to). Headphones are not ruler-flat to begin with - they have a huge range of possibly FRs (which we can see as measured and compensated charts, but that doesn't reflect the actual acoustic response your ears "see" (before we get into your hearing loss)). I'm not really aware of what exists as plug-ins for foobar2000, but I know that parametric EQs do exist.īut where it gets a little screwy is here: I believe you'd want a parametric EQ to accomplish the fine-tuning you're looking for here - it'll make life a lot easier (and more precise). Much like the person who cannot feel pain burns themselves and does not know it until they smell or see it). I am not talking about just blasting the high frequences by says 30dB because basically EQ should expand and compress (at least this is the correct manner and I read it is used in hearing aids otherwise you would just be blasting the frequencies that the person is deficient in and doing more damage as they would not know they are doing more damage due to not hearing it. By the way I can hear up to 11.5Khz but they only test you to 8Khz from what I can tell.ĮDIT: Just to let you know I understand a little about 'boosting' certain frequencies and the damage it can do if done incorrectly. But only if you are sure this will help as I know you cannot replace those ranges only amplify them. Is it just a matter of boosting the upper ranges? If anyone can provide a sample profile for Foobar I can work my way from there. However I wonder if using similar methods to help with my hearing can also be applied to headphones? I have provided a copy of my last hearing test for anyone who wants to have a go to look at. I wear them because they help with my tinnitus mainly. ![]() Is it possible to create and EQ profile for someone with hearing loss? I wear hearing aids but my hearing is not that bad that I am deaf without them or anything.
