The Ear's Protective Mechanisms
So us oldies can't hear you, but if you shout then it hurts.

This especially applies to married men.
Is that why old married men go around with pained expressions on their faces?
No, those are just bose customers.
Very interesting. A friend of mine has hyperacusis, I think that's connected with his tinnitus. I find I'm more sensitive to harsh sounds, and on a happier note, perhaps us oldies with our less tolerant(?) hearing are better able to judge subjectively the quality of our sound systems....and here's another of those annoyances about getting old:

Yup, that's what we did. Made sure the treble was controlled so it didn't drive them outta the store.A buddy of mine who worked in a stereo shop in the 70s told me defiantly. Crank it up! Let them feel the bass! Then you can sell them the system.
Not trying to lay claim to anything but I was the first person I know who made a sub and satellite system (for their home) to control the bass without using the control or EQ. There were no powered subs back them, you built a bass box (in my case a coffee table) and gave it, it's own amp. You then made small, wall mounted speakers, hung a cap on them for protection and voila! Nobody could understand where all the bass was coming from.
This is in the days before the Minimus 7 came along.
