That works great. As a child, my hearing was insanely sensitive. It would dull down to normal around the same times of major pain which lead to getting them cleaned that way about twice a year. They would test my hearing before and after and it usually ended up with the guy saying "Hey Joe get IN here" because I could hear anything their machine could do.Things like crinkling paper or tin foil, lights at Sears, and just overall ambient noises were sheer torture for the first month after a cleaning.
After years of loud music, my hearing is now just normal. I love music and got into high end mostly because if things weren't reproduced properly it really annoyed me. It's been 15 years since I have had my ears cleaned so I assume I have grown out of it.
The funny thing is that it's not the hearing so much as the training to listen. I can pick out more things in music now than ever even though my hearing is no longer fantastic. Of course, I now have friends who are better at it than I. I joke about their "golden ears" and love to get their opinions on things.
