Does room temprature effect your hearing?

[Sepheritoh]

Does it?

Do you hear different in a cold room than in a warm room?

I was thinking just now. LIstening to some stuff I did earlier today and it somehow sounded "thin". I could not hear the bass as clearly as I did earlier today. So, I was thinking maybe it is because my ears are tired now or maybe it is because it is 2 O'clock in the morning now and my airconditioner was set at 18 degrees C.

Also consider air pressure and humidity. it just has to have some effect.

I wouldn't say the variance of temperature that you would keep your house would show any considerable difference at all.

However, I can tell a huge difference in outdoor concerts that are in winter and summer. The humidy and air pressure are both large factors that make the difference noticable when its that loud in a wide open space.

[Sepheritoh]

True, humidy might be a signifficant thing. Thinking about it Chase. You are right that open air concerts in the winter does sound different than in the summer. That is until you get worked up and are dancing around and feel warm and fuzzy. Then everything sounds pretty fine.

i guess comfort is the key
if you are comfortable and relaxed you do hear better than if your distracted in anyway especially by being to hot or cold
also if your so cold your teeth chatter well your gonna hear that before your lovely tunage

Also, the canals leading from your nasal cavity to your ears constrict when it is cold, which has to make it sound different somehow.

I've also had chewing gum effect the mix of a track.

Mmmm. Thanks. True words. Comfort. That is most probably what makes the difference. Meaning that feeling uncomfortable because of stress or anything else DOES make a difference in the way I listen to music.

Not a chewing gummer I'm not very sure how this would make a difference, except maybe if stuck to the speaker cone.

I can understand what you are saying about locked nasals. If I have a cold everything just sound like a telephone (or the little bit I can hear through the ringing of tinites).

Chewing gum also restricts the passages, as well as it puts pressure on your entire ear canals.

but afterhours and tiresome must took their share...

[Mr. Tunes]
