Hello all, firstly I hope I am posting in the correct forum in regards to the actual sound of music. I have suffered hearing loss and my music sounds drastically different. I hope you guys hear at EDM can help even tho i dont listen to EDM.
I have a question in regards to frequencies of music and "hifi". From my understanding, old style'd music like traditionally instruments (guitars, drums, piano etc) usually sit in-between the frequencies of 0-8000khz. I don't really have issues when listening to a group like AC/DC or someone similar as they use these instruments, and my hearing is somewhat normal in these ranges from my audio test.
The issue is I don't listen this sort of music, I actually listen to very modern music that is often quite compressed from my understanding. For example I usually listen to someone Kendrick Lamar, Jamie XX or Kanye West, where there is a hell of production produced in the studio. Sadly this music no longer sounds the same and i was wondering about certain frequencies i can no longer detect? Typically, is this "hifi" music in frequencies from 8000khz-20,000khz and that I probably have hearing damage in these areas that is somewhat distorting my music and meaning it no longer sounds the same? Could someone explain this because it would be fanastic as it is highly, highly depressing considering I have Tinnitus and Music was my love.
Edit- My two different hearing tests in the last 2 months linked if it is any help and I have also been to an ENT. this is a post concerning after I have seen a handful of professionals and now seeking understanding from actual people who understand music test 1 http://imgur.com/a/8Cm4o test 2 http://imgur.com/a/TSEgd
