My belief is that I need IEM's that have:
High isolation (minimum 35dB attenuation)
Warm sound with a soft treble
Highly transparent
Good resolution
To be used direct from iPod/TV
Maximum budget £375
My hearing now has no dynamic range.
I am unable to tolerate sudden increases in volume and I seem to be less tolerant of higher frequencies (especially if they are distorted or just too loud or too sudden).
In my case this is caused by Hyperacusis which is a part of the Acoustic Shock Disorder (Syndrome).
Does anyone else unfortunately have a highly reduced tolerance to sound?
If so, have you found an in ear monitor that not only attenuates enough (so no need for earplugs) but also can play music (or speech) without pain?
It might be the case that IEM's are just going to be too close to the eardrum for me. To give you some idea bedside radio needs to be on volume level 1 and the TV on level 3 or 4.
I will be very pleased to hear from you.
