New Headgear for BASS Junkies!

by @ 7:29 pm. Filed under Misc, Sounds, Thoughts

Sennheiser EH150 Bass,

Although the frequency responce is lower on these than in my PX100’s, just slightly!, the extra attention to Bass on these help my type of hearing loss, so I LOVE EM!

The Sennheiser EH 150 Evolution headphones are the ideal partner for powerful modern music, providing good insulation against ambient noise and a vivid, crisp bass response. The headphones incorporate powerful neodymium magnets and lightweight diaphragms for high sound levels no matter what they’re connected to.

The rugged lightweight headphones have an extremely flexible headband that offers a secure fit, even for extended listening periods, and can be used for both mobile sources and home hi-fi systems.

Meds can cause hearing loss

by @ 3:07 am. Filed under Misc

Did you know that certain meds can cause hearing loss.  About 15 years ago I went to a talk about this topic and the Professor giving the talk actually gave us a list of meds that can cause hearing loss. Unfortunately I no longer have it but for some of you like Lette for example it may be a possible cause. If you are interested  there are a number of sites in google under medication effects on hearing. I hope this helps someone.
