I have had a loss of hearing above approx. 4000 hz since I was first tested around age 14. I can barely hear the top note on most pianos (I use an ETD). I did pass the RPT tuning exam, but used my SAT for the test. It tends to stretch the high treble a little too much (or at least it did for the test) so I was penalized a few points. I hope my hearing doesn't get any worse. I use ER-20 plugs. They are cheap ($13.00) and very comfortable. I get them from Musician's Friend online.
