Does anyone use hearing aids when listening to your hi-fi audio system?


Yeah I just got hearing aids and I am feeling very old. Six years total time in Air-defense artillery and Field-artillery with the Army has ruined a band of my mid to high level frequency hearing.

Does anyone else out there listen to your hi-fi audio system with your hearing aids? What are the disadvantages? Does it make the experience any better? Pros and cons?

I went through this with my dad.  Hearing loss is not equally distributed.  There's a couple of options that help.  You can go with mono and just lose some imaging.  Another option is headphones-you would most likely want a headphone amp with a balance control and skip the hearing aids.
Finally, keep in mind that what you end up enjoying may sound "off"  to someone without your disadvantages.  Audio can sound great but this might be more of a very personal experience.
