At least when it come to hearing EQ, and this is for everyone out there, learn to associate EQ moves with vowels. If there's a boost at 250hz, there's a ooo sound like too. 500hz, also ooo sound but as in no, 1k ahh sound, 2k ehhh sound, 4k eee sound. I don't know If i explained that well but for me its a game changer. its like a superpower. Learn to train your ears to hear those vowel sounds when EQing and it'll get easier, trust me
