In Reply to: Music Lovers going deaf: Give me some hope posted by Frihed89 on April 12, 2007 at 12:11:27:
Interacting w/ my 87 yr old mother and her hearing ability, I realize what awaits us all down the road.My HF ability is starting to roll-off. Make that *is rolled-off. My interest in my music of 30-40 years ago is starting to wane. At the same time, the system has never been better, and the recent addition of of the audience adept 1 plug conditioner on the power amp end is mightily impressive.
What the first thing to go is debatable... but there are several things to go that are guaranteed. Sadly, hearing is one of them - though you'll never see a paid Reviewer admit that.
We don't have the hearing of a 23 yr old, and we don't have the 'other thing' of a 23 yr old. Life is finite, and tough, and not perfect; plan and accept... Think of all the wonderful contributions you've made here, and the decades of good stuff you've listened to. There are blessings to living in the USA. Read in US News that only 10% of Afghanis' have 'experienced' electricity.
Music is, of course, nice, but there are thousands of books to be read, thousands of photographs for you to take, miles of trails to be hiked.
Memories are forever, and it's hard to erase musical memories. Name me 10 Shirelles tunes, and the playback starts in my head. We never forget our first lover, nor our last. So, we're all with you and behind you, and face the same fate. Perhaps time to focus on other enjoyments...
