>The only weird thing with my hearing that I know of is that I'm missing a band of frequencies entirely. I don't have a good explanation for that one. That's normal hearing loss. You'll have damaged or be missing some stereocilia of that resonant length.

Buy the book "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" (is on Amazon) if you want to learn more about sound and hearing, and things like hypo-sensitivity. Physical damage is certainly a possibility, however your statement of "that's normal hearing loss" is ill informed/ignorant and/or arrogant; that fits with your other responses in this thread, so it's not surprising.

    Yes, I said "physical damage is certainly a possibility" before pointing out that there are other ways a person can have/developed a hypo-sensitivity to certain frequencies, which you'll find out in more detail if you read the book I referenced above.

      I just looked up the book and the auditory integration training it promotes. Getting a very strong smell of woo from the whole thing. Do you make any money from it? >The American Academy of Pediatrics and three other professional organizations consider it an experimental procedure. The New York State Department of Health recommends that it not be used to treat young children with autism.[3] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the Audiokinetron, the original device used to perform AIT, from importation into the U.S. due to lack of evidence of medical benefit.[1] The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has concluded that AIT has not met scientific standards for safety. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_integration_training https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_integration_training

        No, I don't make money off of it - however I have benefit greatly from it myself, and I saw it greatly benefit others. In my early 20s I had developed a severe hypersensitivity to sound (hyperacusis) after being prescribed a medication. Audiograms that followed showed that I could hear at 0 Dbs across all frequencies, and a later one showed many that I could hear below 0 Dbs, and a few at -14 Dbs (the equipment couldn't check lower than that). The AIT sound therapy undid all of that (and more, however you're not a receptive audience I care to share that with/spend the effort writing it out here to you). Although I appreciate skepticism, your level of research you're presenting is fairly shallow and so I don't really feel like engaging further with you right now. Once again, based on your other arrogant answers, it's not surprising you'd get a "strong smell of woo" from it. The process of knowledge spreading through society takes time, it takes time for things become mainstream. Another example I'll bring up related to knowledge taking time getting to mainstream, with more concrete biological evidence available to reference (as well as concepts already having been in society for a long time) is related to stem cells/regenerative medicine. Stem cells will heal injuries, regenerate tissue. Even though this is the case, assuming an evolved process is used (meaning proper/adequate training etc) my physician absurdly still didn't believe that the impact I had personally to treat pain had healed anything or would be permanent; and that's primarily because he hadn't encountered anyone who had had went for a stem cell treatment before, even though there have been doctors doing it and evolving the process for 18 years now - and from doctors doing it, they have said it likely won't become mainstream for perhaps even 15 more years. Anyway, I'm writing this out more for my benefit since I don't think you'll actually understand the connection I'm trying to make. P.S. The US had stem cell research ban for a long time. Also, that Wiki URL has a surprisingly scarce/limited amount of information on it. Once again, I'll refer you to the book, Hearing Equals Behaviour.
