Rank: Guest		Posted By Darren (Daz) Fraser Hi all Sometime ago I found a piece of music (Beethoven, I think) that had been adjusted from normal level to simulate a 10dBa, 20dBa and 30dBa loss of hearing respectively. Unfortunately I have since lost this and would be most grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. Many thanks
