Hello everyone! Am I glad I remembered this forum. I am in need of your good counsel.
Two years ago, my right eardrum inexplicably partially burst. I had surgery to close the hole, but of course my ear wouldn’t recover like a normal one and it got stuck at around 80% of the process. The low frequencies have come back, but the higher ones didn’t. So to put it in context, the s and t sound rather vague in speech, while the ‘ticking’ sounds of a harpsichord are nearly inaudible, but a double bass is no problem.
I just had a hearing aid adjustment, but it sounds rather unnatural and truth be told, I’m just tired of messing around with a hearing aid at the age of 29 and I only need it for listening/watching things on my Windows computer anyway.
So I was wondering: is there a simple equalizer that I can use to boost these frequencies on just the right channel? I say simple because my braille display sometimes struggles with fancy-looking programs.
I’ve tried APO or something, but that didn’t come through at all and it seemed overly complicated anyway. Also, more problematically, it kept turning off my amazing built-in Dolby Atmos normalise settings, which I really love.
So basically, I’m looking for a way to increase the high frequencies on the right channel only without that program interfering with anything else. Preferably in a GUI and not through complicated Notepad instructions. Ideally for every sound my pc produces, but only in Media Player Classic would be fine too.
