It depends on the type of hearing loss you suffered: sensorineural vs conductive. Also, is the problem in one or both ears? About 30 years ago, I lost most of the hearing in my right ear (about 90% sensorineural loss). It has never recovered but I still hear normally with my left ear. It was difficult but I have adjusted my habits to accommodate such as sitting off center to the right at concerts and on my listening room. Unfortunately, hearing aids don’t benefit profound sensorineural hearing loss, but they can benefit conductive hearing loss. Even better, traumatic conductive hearing loss can recover. Hang in there! BTW, I think of myself as “the one-eared audiophile”!😎
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.
