For a second there I couldn't picture an iron butterfly getting off the
ground, then I remembered the drugs..

According to my sister, who has similar symptoms, a physician will
probably diagnose this as a genuine neurological/hearing problem. She

It's called mid-range deafness, and is common in anyone over 35. It's a
condition that is supposedly exacerbated by exposure to loud noises when
you
were young -- like those old Iron Butterfly albums we used to play at 160
decibels... ;-)

There is no cure -- which is one reason I don't "do" cocktail parties
very
often anymore.

Rats. And I never even listened to any loud music as an adolescent (45
years ago) and I have never heard of Iron Butterfly.

Thanks
