Advice on how to liquidate system


Few weeks ago, I sustained traumatic blast induced hearing loss during a training incident. The level of hearing loss and tinnitus is pretty bad, I’ve had only a minimal level of improvement. midrange and upper frequencies sound like a 1970’s transistor radio. Horrible. The reality of the situation is looking like my audiophile days are pretty much over. Now I’m thinking of what to do with the gear…the thought of dismantling my rig and selling piece by piece is nauseating. Are there any resources that would come in and take it all? At this point I really don’t give a crap about being lowballed, it’s aggravating to look at what Ive put so much time and effort into and not be able to enjoy it. I need to move on.

I have nominal hearing loss in one ear and much more significant hearing loss in the other ear.  With the addition of hearing correction (expensive hearing aids), I could hear the music more clearly but it lost most of it's passion / live quality while wearing hearing aids.  And now, since I wear the hearing aids most of the time, it takes about an hour for my ears to adjust to listening to music without them.  But, then the music sounds better.

The best thing for me right now are headphones (Focal Utopia and Burson headphone amp/dac for serious listening and Grado GS1E for connecting to the laptop.
