I read an interesting article about Beethoven and how his music changed accordingly with
his increasing hearing loss. Got me to thinking if any equivalent happens in modern music
production. I suppose bias is often avoided by consensus. If so, I can also imagine the
exact opposite happens -that high frequencies are not attenuated enough. But of course, if
a producer lost his hearing to the same extent as Beethoven, it'd be game over.
