By time generator I assume you mean a tone generator, I have, I've been using them to eq too

Lol yes I meant tone (silly autocomplete algorithm when using a slide keyboard😅)

Ah that's good to hear... Then you may have a peculiar case of upper midrange detest

Then you may want an IEM with enough recession from 3kHz to 8 kHz that it doesn't sound blunted but doesn't sound shrill too The only ones that come to mind are the:

Sennheiser IE40 Pro

Final Audio E4000

Final Audio E5000

Thieaudio Legacy 5 are the one I remember have good recession in the midrange to not be shouty but at the same time have good treble extension to not be hot and screechy
