This actually is quite interesting and relevant. It's worth
understanding how well you hear a given signal in typical conditions:
white noise with a mix of other interesting audio phenomena. Whether
consciously or unconsciously there is always the question of your own
hearing abilities versus the receiver. Knowing your own performance
envelope can help you gain insight into how best to adjust your receiver
to accommodate your own needs. I also think list moderation is Eric's
job. Thus, your comment seems to be a tad bit out of line.
David - thanks for bringing this at least to my attention. I found it
useful and interesting.

Nope. I’m in the evil, ugly TV news business. I plead guilty to promoting
things I find interesting and this was one — it is a hearing test based on
ambient audio interference and sequences of three numbers progressively buried
in the noise. Not unlike what we do everyday in amateur radio. Based own your
answers, you get an average result. Mine: a little hearing loss on both ears.
Slightly concerning because the XYL (or Gawd I used that term — surely lighting
will strike!!) says I do not hear her all the time. Then again, I used an
iPhone. I will try again with a dedicated land line. It is genuinely an
interesting listening experiment.

This test not unlike most of our “pick the signal out of the noise” experiences.
