I just received my JH-13s by JH Audio. I sent in my audiologist report along with my molds, and my JH-13s were tuned to my hearing loss, and they sound great!! I put this in a thread, but I wanted everyone to know since it was a surprise to me that I could do that, so I'm posting this new thread too.

Jerry Harvey are amazing in tuning earphones to a specific ear shape, I'd be more surprised if they couldn't do it for your ears. Great news.

That's pretty awesome. I hadn't seen anything about getting customs tuned for your hearing before this.

interesting. How exactly is that supposed to work? Do they just alter the loudness based on hearing ability in each ear?

From what I remember reading in the tinnitus thread, they can tune the earphones to not produce (or lessen the volume of) frequencies that your tinnitus blocks and gets amplified by-- having this done is supposed to help manage tinnitus.

I'm not sure if this is the same kind of deal or not.

Sorry to hear about your hearing loss, but it's good to know that JH can provide unique service like that.

Reading stuff like this surprises me (in a good way) and makes me smile. When I think about what headphone a $1K budget can get me, I'm just more and more amazed by the IEM offerings (a fully custom design for your ear shape and sonics) and less and less excited about the current full-sized options out there.

It's good to know this sort of things can be done so everybody can enjoy good headphones. That's for letting us know.

That's really cool. It's a smart way to put technology to good use.

Oh LOL, if I had known that, I would have brought them the hearing test report when I was there yesterday! Oh well
