supposedly it is likely, even if only because the ear is less able to receive some of the frequencies, I think it is the higher frequencies that 'go' first.

if i need to i can use a set of bone-conduction headphones that i got from a company in south korea....the frequency range is shorter than those in audio
headphones, but at least it is better than nothing....unfortunately, for me, it is the speech range i have an irritating problem with....so music with voice is often less enjoyable, and i do miss my moody blues....i could use an amplified audio set but worry that what hearing i've got may disappear even quicker because the volume needs to be so high...
