In this video, I review Plugin Alliance's new Hears Perfection plugin—a hearing correction tool for studio monitoring—and compare it with Altitude Audio's Aria Studio to help you decide which one best suits your needs. While both plugins delivered surprisingly accurate hearing profiles that matched my audiologist's measurements, I found myself preferring Hears Perfection for its simplicity, quick 1-2 minute hearing test, headphone-specific profiles, and more focused frequency correction range that doesn't waste energy on ultra-high frequencies you can't hear anyway.

In this video, I explore ARIA Studio by Altitude Audio, a revolutionary software that creates personalized audio profiles based on your hearing test results, compensating for specific hearing loss patterns to deliver a more balanced listening experience. What impressed me most was how accurately it corrects audio across both headphones and speakers, making it an invaluable tool for audio professionals with hearing loss while remaining accessible for anyone wanting to optimize their listening experience.

In this video, I reveal how I use Apple AirPods Pro 2's FDA-approved hearing aid functionality to enhance my music production work, sharing my personal journey with mild hearing loss and demonstrating the setup process. While these earbuds aren't meant for professional mastering, I explain why their ability to correct individual hearing profiles makes them valuable for audio work, even for those without significant hearing loss.
