Magnepan Ribbons and Hearing Loss

Hearing tests do NOT reveal all there is to know about hearing.
The sine wave testing they use is really tough to listen to.
In the 'real' world the upper frequencies can be noted even by people with hearing loss. They may be down lower in strength, but ARE still hearable.
So the little clues one has about overtones etc still matter.
So IMO the idea of having a great speaker is not cut off due to some hearing loss. You WILL still be able to appreciate the Maggies treble.
So I say go for it.

I bought a Power conditioner from a guy who was bummed out over his hearing loss and was selling off all his high end stuff. Phooey! Keep it, use it. Be happy with what you have!! Glass half full is way better than NOTHING. So go for it. (Who cares if you significant others think it is a 'waste'... No way dude!) The Maggies will bringa smile on your face .. And that is what matters. Now what some test claims.

Even driving a Ferarri at 40mph can be LOTS of fun. And really enjoyable.

MKH, I agree with Elizabeth. And look at it this way, you won't need to use the resistors some people insist on using to tame the Maggie ribbons. That said, there is nothing like an audition to answer your question.

If you ever downshifted a Ferrari at 30 mph, and tweaked that gas pedal for even a second or 2 and feel the rush...you wouldn't ask that question.

Maggie ribbons are everything that's right in the world. Enjoy them.

That's actually pretty good hearing from a test of that type. There is no doubt you would hear the effects from that tweeter.
