Subject :  Re: Frequency compression/shifting technology. Opinions?

Hi,

Thank you for your opinion. I am curious though that perhaps what you are describing is part of the "adaptation" process that people have to go through when trying such a technology - meaning sounds end up not sounding normal at first but after a person adapts in 6 months, a year, or whenever, the technology is positive. Like, with a cochlear implant, people's ears have to learn how to hear static correctly as sound and this takes time but the ear learns and adapts to it.

So, I'm wondering what the long-term would be in terms of the ear relearning how to perceive sound.
