I have had progressively worse tinnitus for 30 years as well as worsening hearing loss. I am 71 now and have worn hearing aids for about 20 years. I now have some pretty good aids but never do what they advertise they can. Music listening certainly suffers in the higher frequencies but it had not stopped me from enjoying the hobby. I think the wife suffers as well since she has seen it get worse the last few years. Or maybe it is an excuse...!!!!
Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio?
Over the last few years I have developed tinnitus and also have some hearing issues. I am a long time music and audio fanatic. Years ago I built my own Hafler amp. Before that I had a great AR system. Presently, I have, what I believe, is a pretty nice system in a dedicated listening room (about 60,000.00). My question is if there are others of you out there in similar situations concerning your hearing issues as they relate to your love and reproduction of great sounding music? What are your experiences? Have you found anything that helps and do you have any advice? I would venture to say that we all experience some degree of hearing loss, or hearing anomalies as we age...whether we realize it or not. Thanks, Jim
