What happened and the result

Hello, Growng up I had a lot of ear infections and we were on welfare in the seventies. I heard a lot of music then as my father had a huge quadraphonic stereo. I remember the Akai reel to reel he brought back from Viet nam. I never could understand the lyrics of songs very well but nevertheless I enjoyed the music. Getting to my mid 50's I went to the ear doctor. To make a long story short he said he could fix the hearing in my right ear with a operation. So afterwards my hearing was completely fixed but I had trouble understanding some people and words at times. It turns out my brain had to relearn sounds and the garbled sounds went away after a few months. It was a revelation I thought I knew what stereo was but did not understand that sound converged in the middle of your head with some sounds coming from one side or the other. I wanted to get a good stereo for our new house and a console was the way to match the 1954 MCM house we love. I got several as time went on and currently my favorite is the 1960 Magnavox Concert grand. A beast of a unit with a two mono amps with 42 tubes and a total of 100 watts. I like to show people this beautiful instrument with the song ride my seesaw by the moody blues or teen spirit by Nirvana. Go to the doctor, miracles can occur. Sorry, boomer here but DU will submit the post when I hit return instead of starting a new paragraph IDK why Thanks for the music appreciation.
