When I first starting having these problems, and regular audiology tests, I asked the consultant what they used as the baseline for the comparisons. He told me it was the average of a large sample of tests made on 6-year-olds, because their ears have stopped developing, but haven't yet started to decline. The lesson from that is, get a 6-year-old to choose your sound system. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
