It's not the ears. It's the processing. I know people who can't hear sh*t, but have nothing wrong with their actual ears. My hearing may be better than average since I had undiagnosed bad eyesight for several years as a child. I relied on my other senses to make up for it. It's just one possibility. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
