The medical assessment confuses me as well. The hearing loss was allegedly 60-80 % of over 60% of all high frequency tones. When I listen to music and tv I have no trouble hearing high frequency sounds. If anything I find lower frequency sounds hard to hear. I suspect that the tones used in the hearing tests were very narrow in width and that I would have done better if the test tones were wider in scope. On the other hand I missed a high pitched fire drill once at an oil refinery. Everyone else was complaing about agonizing earaches from it while I had to hold my breath and concentrate strongly to detect it at all. I suppose that most musicians with a history of loud industrial employment will never know how they sound to their audience.
Although I may never know how my future audiences will hear my playing I am encouraged by the feedback I have received from others so far.My goals are to calm, uplift and empower for positive action. That is what I have been told my melodies do.
