Is it still possible to produce correctly with hearing loss ?

[deastman]

I don't really understand why you felt the need to start a second thread, but obviously this is weighing heavily on you. As I said before, my hearing charts are WAY worse than yours. The fact that you are worried about what I see in your tests is, frankly, laughable. And I mean that with the utmost of respect, because I know it doesn't feel like a laughing matter to you. But right about now, I would kill to have your hearing!

All of your questions were answered in the other thread: everyone has somewhat different hearing; we all experience hearing loss as we age; Quincy Jones is still working and wears a hearing aid; learn to understand your limitations and to work around them; rely on collaborators to help in areas where you are deficient.

Bottom line, I don't see anything in your charts which should prevent you from working in an audio field. But be aware that your hearing will continue to get worse as you age, just like the rest of us.

Does sound engineer, or at least everyone wich make mixes seriously have to get an EXCELLENT hearing ?

I think in your TWO previous threads we nearly collectively already told you: NO, you DO NOT NEED to have excellent hearing!

Ignore what people might think of it, just do what makes YOU happy.

I agree that people on Kvr said no, etc.

But, in the real life, everyone find it normal that I should stop. They say by themself that I should stop...

Some people said that with my hearing (wich is not perfect) I could not get good result... I don't understand why, is my hearing so terrible ?

Who cares what other people think? Making music is a personal experience. If you enjoy it, then do it ... and please stop opening new threads to talk about the exact same issue as in your (many) previous threads.

But would you be happy to know that you will NEVER reach your goals ?

That all you will achieve will be crappy things ?...

What qualifications do those people have to tell you that as the ultimate truth? Are they professional musicians or working in the music industry? Because we know of plenty professionals with damaged hearing that STILL do their job!

Stop crying, stop thinking a slight disability is the end. Stop being a damn victim. There's a lot of fun to be had!

Thanks a lot for your message.
The problem is that no one like you takes the time to SEE my audiogram. Everyone is saying that I am lost instead... I never thinked that my family would say me to stop it... It really hurts me...

You know, the fact that it is laughable makes me happy. Because you laugh about the loss ! Every other persons is laughing about my problem, and does not take me seriously.

Thanks a lot.

I'm happy whether or not I achieve anything ... like I said, if you enjoy it, then do it. If not ...

But that is what is annoying for me, thecontrolcentre.


I just can't be happy if I know I could not get a desired level in audio production.

[BertKoor]

Having no talent or really bad taste in music are far bigger impeding factors! And that did not stop many of us from trying...

[BertKoor]

If I read some of the first threads you posted on KVR, I think the problem you suffer from has nothing to do with your ears.

So why ask again at KVR if you wont believe what you've already been told here?

If you prefer to believe anyone who tells you to stop, then stop.

I laugh about the loss because it is a very minor loss, quite trivial, and not worthy of the amount of concern you are expressing. I can barely hear anything above 2K anymore, and that has gotten much worse just in the past three months! Yes, I'm very depressed about that, but I'm also determined to not let it ruin my enjoyment of music if I can possibly help it, and I remain optimistic about the possibility of future medical treatments.

May I ask your age, and what experience you have musically?

[NotreDame]

I am 20.
I have no musical name, page, on the internet.

But thanks to hardworking I have already made many songs featuring artists from Armada, or XFactor for example,
wich have been published in small label.
I also worked for mixing purposes as a freelancer.

Because I am young and because since I meet music everyone from my family criticized me, I stopped music since may 2016.
Because of depression. It's not that I don't want to make it anymore, but people destroyed me.
So I stopped music : they stopped to criticize me.
