Hi Scott
My ENT specialist has no idea why that drop at 500 - makes working with root frequencies difficult - not much range available. I've had every diagnostic test plus an MRI. Only theories. May have something to do with my negligible balance capabilities . . . only about 20 % in one of the ears - trying to remember which one. About two years ago the drop to 90db occurred suddenly, almost overnight.
Dizzy for a day or two and then gone. No way to really examine the cochlea and find out what's going on.
My left ear has always been the stronger. It's better positioned frequency-wise to give me the melodic info I need for recording my voice - not very good for speech though.

I have a question about Westone ITEs- are the on-board speakers the same as Hearing Aid speakers? One or two companies make all? I'm also supposing that the ITEs carry a broader range of frequencies because, unlike HAids, their sound source is NOT a pin-head microphone. I'm also going to assume that the ITEs, unlike HAids, do not have on-board adjustable frequency chips, and that most of the frequency adjustment takes place before the sound comes to the ITEs.
I'm trying to figure out here if technically such a setup with ITEs would work for me.
My headphones are Radio Shack 15 years ago variety which cover the ear. They will have to be replaced.
