Seems suspicious to me. I’m pretty sure you can’t just ‘turn up the volume’ to hear frequencies you can no longer physically hear. I’m sure they can make it sound different!

I feel like this kind of thing should be done with a sine wave sweep across the entire frequency spectrum instead of isolated beeps here and there.

Yeah. Also, even in the case of lowered hearing (not total hearing loss) at specific frequencies, you would need to compensate very accurately or risk boosting neighboring frequencies that you CAN hear.

Yep, you’re right. Overshare of the day (I may edit this one later), I was born with an inner ear birth defect (people always think my hearing loss was from being a musician; even as a teenager people would say that). Of course, that makes me a terrible choice to do mixing and is part of the reason why I use AI for help with mixing and mastering (the other part is related to my lack of expertise in those areas).

Here’s the Google AI explanation — which is basically the same point you were making with a little detail:

“While you can technically turn up the volume on a device to try and hear frequencies you have difficulty with due to hearing loss, simply increasing the volume alone usually isn’t enough to effectively hear those sounds because the damage to your inner ear hair cells responsible for detecting specific frequencies can’t be reversed by just making the sound louder…”
