My new Glide
Now, that looks to be one motor I would be able to hear!
I don't mind hearing certain things. My hearing was damaged by gunfire over the years. Due to that I am not able to hear much well over 2500 cps.
Of course, that hearing has a definite advantage. Below 2500 cycles I can hear much better than normal for a human. The good part?
Years back my wife went with me for my annual hearing test. She could not understand why I heard some things very well, but never her. After she still could not understand the medical information about my hearing loss, he explained it in language she could understand.
He said, "Your husbands loss begins at 2500 cycles. Most women and childrens voice range is between 3000 and 4500 cps. Your husband is legally deaf to women and kids."
They called me yesterday afternoon and told me it was ready As I was leaving I asked if I could start it they did and It sounded great, very strong but honestly much louder than I thought. I was told by the service manager that the mapping was perfect and the motor sounded so strong and deep. One of the allures for me was the boom because I love to have music when I ride. I haven't heard it yet and wonder if I will be able to.
