@Bahram Dashti wellcome Lord!

Nice photo!

That's what happens when you don't take regular breaks.

should you wondering whether there's any point to all this, or whether it's merely a swindle in a nice waistcoat, the short answer, my dear fellow, is: there is.

ear training (here, or by way of other instruments and exercises, there's no shortage of alternatives) is real.
the before and after can be positively scandalous.
or it can be nothing much at all.
here, as in most gentlemanly pursuits, it's all terribly personal and hangs on one's natural disposition.
everyone has their own ceiling.
the pace of progress is just as personal too
two options, really: it takes a long time, or it takes a frightfully long time.

and it demands a bit of discipline. what matters most is regularity and frequency. fifteen minutes, but daily, is incomparably better than a three-hour bender once a week.

First the more carefully you listen the more distinguished your hearing will become. You could just listen to a lot of stuff, but the games help focus your hearing onto specific elements.
Second, until you recognise exactly what each of your tools is doing to sounds, you won't have the insight to be able to deliberately apply them to your musical work. Messing around with an EQ to make something sound right is one thing (and it's a good thing), but knowing what you want to do and how this particular tool will help you do it before you open a plugin is another level of ability entirely. As is being able to identify a problem and recognising that the solution isn't EQ at all.

Congratulations!
