Then I'd suggest therapy. True story - when I was younger, my parents had to set boundaries for how far I could ride my bike. Feeling my oats, I rode one day to a local record store, to see if I could pick up some records of some albums I wanted to hear. The albums were more than I had, but with wanting a souvenir from my trek, I bought a couple of cheapie albums - one of them, a Paul Anka album.
As punishment for not obeying my boundaries, I had to listen to the album exclusively for an entire week.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! Thanks for playing! I'll get your prize pack out to you (hopefully) tomorrow!!!

My hearing is a little damaged from years of hunting and shooting without hearing protection (I wear it now at the range all the time), working with sheetmetal (Commercial HVAC installations) and working with a live band for a year or two. So it could just be that my hearing is not so good and was already problematic buy the time CD's started coming out.

I'm the same with the whole DVD vs BlueRay thing too. I have both players and have watched both and see no differece between the two formats so I buy DVD's as they're usually around $10 or more less than BR discs. In fact, I once loaded the exact same movie into both and switched between the two and I couldn't see a difference. Not like the difference you see between a HD channel and a non-HD channel on TV. As for the sound on BR....same thing as music...........my ears don't hear any difference.
The audio - I can understand, it's night and day to me, but I can understand not being able to tell the difference.
The video - I got nothing. BluRay is just so over the top sharp - but this might also depend on other factors - like the movie you're watching, and the audio/video setup. Even though I can tell the difference, we still buy DVD's, as video quality isn't nearly as important to me as audio quality.
