Hi Bob

I would have to use the reference CD two ways as I see it:
1) With Hearing Aids - through a properly adjusted hearing aid internal audio program - as per the suggestion of the link article I provided way back - each eq band as level as possible with the next octave

2) Without Hearing Aids - remove the aids and try to set up a set of headphones as suggested by Scott and Mac and Mario - with independent equalizers on each of the L & R lines of the phones replacing the hearing aid internal adjustment program.

Then apply the reference CD through both these methods. Two years ago when my loss was moderate to severe I was getting by no problem. But it is a whole different story at severe to profound. But it is doable, it's just that the available adjustment range will make it more challenging.

Fortunately most of PG's RTs RDs are pretty well eq'd, as are most hardware midi voices. My major problem is getting enough melodic information from the backing tracks so that I can sing on key. I think I can do credible sounding demos if I can solve the voice.
Reminds me of the old joke . . . Will I be able to play the fiddle after surgery doctor? Yes? What a relief . . . I never could before.
Will I be able to sing after all of this setup? What a relief . . .

Thanks for the thoughts - Ian
