Wow, that's amazing. I don't think I have ever heard the bass alone before.  It's incredible.  I always wondered why kids would learn bass guitar when they could learn the 6 string but now I see why.

Victor Wooten is awesome, how does he do that?! Bass and drums together work well for me, both with lots of space and with more rock to it.

When the third sound comes in I find it harder because the higher frequencies on sax and guitar drown out the bass for me. If I concentrate really hard I can pick out the bass and drums for a few seconds at a time - easier when the clip moves to show those instruments.

If I were in a club I would switch my hearing aid off and just feel the bass and drums and cut out the sound of the music/tune/lyrics whatever.  I guess when I just listen (I don't get to feel the bass through my body when it is just pumping into my ear through the loop but otherwise I can't really 'hear' anything) the higher frequencies are the ones I can hear better compared to the lower ones. I don't hear it all equally to be able to distinguish the different sounds. Easier to hear the bass through the sax cos there are more spaces perhaps. Sonorous for sure yeah!

But wow, thanks. What an ear opener!

Next week, the human voice!

If you like bass and drums then dub reggae from the seventies should be enjoyable.  Ceebs knows more about that than me.

Maybe the digital aid itself has a transfer function that is designed for speech and thus higher frequencies, thus artificially lowering the bass volume ; does it have a "bass boom" function ? :)

Maybe you can try to increase bass volume on your computer, see if it makes the bass line easier to follow.

The hearing aid is tuned to my frequency range. So I guess it ought to even things out but in reality it doesn't.

I can't see a base volume setting on here, certainly not for use watching you tube.  I can manipulate that with MP3s though and it does help.
