Getting old bites big donkey d*ck!
So have my annual physical, doc says right ear may not be pulling its weight. So I ask for a referal to audiologist before I sink more money into AV gear.
Spent yesterday in the 'black box' trying to hear tones, sure enough, above 4000Hz, there's a drop-off in hearing. Now that I expected. But the problem is, the right ear is significantly worse then left, and doc grilled me as to whether I'd ever had a job that would put just my right ear at risk.
Nope.
And not only that, but spent last 6 years in healthcare software development staring at computer monitor, and 7 years before that in hospital medical records deptartments, not like I've been working around jet engines.
So, he wants me to get an MRI of the ole skull to be sure nothings growing in there that might account for the difference. I doubt that's it, but I'll schedule it later in the month just to be safe. With any luck, I'll get them to write out that there is in fact a brain inside my skullcase, and cram that report in my wife's face while shouting, "THERE! I TOLD YOU SO! IT'S NOT UP MY ASS!!!"
That's all, just had to vent.
Well, that and I've been eyeballing the local Amish woodworkers to see about having one build boxes for me for a Danny R. design to use out on deck, maybe NEO2X. Guess that can wait a bit.
