The Home Hearing Test: Since we cover audio, one of the most interesting new products we saw was from in-your-ear earphone pioneers Etymotic. While anyone serious about high-quality audio is familiar with the respected Etymotic line of earphones, a new product of theirs, the Home Hearing Test, (or, HHT), brings a simple, yet accurate approach to in-home hearing testing. Comprised of a set of calibrated earphones, software, and a USB adapter for your PC, the HHT isn’t designed to create a diagnosis, but it does give you a firm idea of one’s audio response, and indicate if a doctor visit would be warranted. I’ve been tested for hearing at NAMM shows, used the new online version of the Munsell Color Test that test visual acuity and accuracy, but this is the first time I had been able to test my hearing, and that of my family and friends. With hearing loss fast becoming a serious health issue in our society, especially with the use of earbuds and portable music players, this is one way to keep tabs on hearing health. For musicians whose lives are earned with their ears, this can chart their baseline, and track any changes. maceditionradio/node/6003
