Unbalanced hearing

I also have the same issues. But artificially correcting it in these ways does not work. You can't fool yourself, ie: your brain. Listening to a correct presentation is still the most pleasing. You need to be able to identify the same sonic placement cues since you are actually able to do so, even if you were totally deaf in one ear. Your perception of space and time depends on it the same as when you are not listening to your rig. It's something you simply have to live with.

Nearly every human being has some imbalance, just do your best.

For my own hearing issues I 'do' nothing special at all.
Though I may be spending more than I would have if i did not have any problem with my left ear.
(I use the hearing loss in my left ear as an excuse to spend tens of thousands on stereo stuff. I call it 'overcompensating' as a response to those asking why crazy money on stereo?)

So my answer is do nothing special. Your hearing is as it is. listen that way too.

Thanks for those responses. I've played with the balance control on my preamp, but it doesn't work for me in a satisfying way. I use a Deqx processer, but it doesn't allow for independent channel compensation. Bojack, can the Behringer boost the treble to one channel only? Even if it could, I wonder if that would mess things up for the good ear, as you mention.
Maybe I should stick a little cotton in the good ear.

Psag,

Yes, the Beringer allows independent level and EQ of each channel, and it really does help my situation considerably. I also found that if, for example, you need 3dB of boost for the left ear, you should decrease the right channel by 1.5dB and increase the left channel by 1.5dB. This way, your good ear (in my case, right) is not hearing a 3dB boost in left channel information. I have 4 saved settings to accommodate a 1.5dB, 2dB, 2.5dB, and 3dB balance shift. I find that vocal recordings or anything with a clear center image requires 3dB, while I can get away with one of the other settings for orchestral or jazz. I find that even a slight change can make all the difference between enjoying listening and saying to hell with it. You can get the Beringers for a good price ($225-$250 used or a little more new), and they are very effective and completely transparent in my system.
