hearing silver

every year the silver beep gets fainter,because of my hearing loss,old age. using a se pro volume setting 10, gold earphones. any solution to this problem?

If it's the FREQUENCY that your ear can't hear,you can ADJUST YOUR THRESHOLD TONE. That will shift the whole range of responses,depending on where you are and where the new setting is. For example,if your Threshold Tone is set to 7 right now by setting it to 3 will cause the "silver beep" to be lower in pitch. Do some experimenting to see if your hearing likes a different setting better.
You can also make sure your Max Limits and Gain are 10.
You could try different phones...
Do you already wear a hearing aid? If not then that's a possibility to look into.
And of course....silver isn't as prevalent anymore. You won't hear what isn't there...

I forgot to mention John,and you probably know this...you could play with the Variability and/or Response adjustment to go into Audio 1,2 or 3.

You can try Black Widow headphones. Those are the loudest I have ever heard.

John,go to Menu/Options/Response. You can choose from Normal,Audio 1,Audio 2 or Audio 3. It's most likely set on Normal right now if you haven't ever messed with it.

thank you all for info.changing audio and threshold helped a great deal. now i have to find silver. are we passing up gold rings ? listhening for silver beeps

Short answer-yes. I think most guys on the beach dig everything repeatable,but inland gold is just a different animal that I'd like to get to know but haven't gone there yet. It's difficult,given different karats,jewelry configurations,etc. Lots of stuff shows up in the gold range,almost none of it you want.
