Learn how to and set it up yourself. You will never again have to ask if it needs one. Its not rocket science my bud.

Hearing changes over time, and tinnitus is a factor also. (I am patiently waiting for someone clever to design and offer EQ and gain controls for my ever-present tinnitus.)

It all gets back to "Wine. Women and Song". You can't miss.
