I thought i'd resurrect this thread to let everyone who gave me such good advice and encouragement know how i'm doing.

as someone said above i had not noticed the decline in my hearing. Commercial tracks do sound better as mentioned in the previous post. when i listen first thing in the morning without my aids i notice just how much i was missing.

my own mixes do sound better and i don't feel the need for exciter plugins as much as i used to. i realize i was trying to compensate for my ears not correct a genuinely dull mix. now just a touch (based on Matt's invaluable advice to turn it up until you can hear it then back off!) is all i use.

the lack of talent is still a problem but i thought all of you who were so kind, helpful and encouraging would like to know how things are progressing.
