Well, I at any rate wanted to know what kept waking me up in the middle of the night. sounded lke a diesel engine running right next to my window, just there was complete silence for everyone else. So, had a hearing tes done, discovered losses appropriate for someone 40 years old when I was only 25. Next thing was that I got earplugs customized that don�t distort what i hear, but just take the volume down. Actually it�s quite ok to play with those, you can still mach easily with everone around you! They call them othoplastics or something like that, and they come with up to 3 different sound-filters you can exchange according to your need or accoustical surrounding, though usually the medium one does the job perfectly well.
