Listening to music is a two step process: what you hear and what you feel. If you can still "receive" the content and quality, it will make you feel what it always did, and that's all that matters. You will discover something new every day, still, in the music you've know for decades.
Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom?

And yes, the Forte's can be a bit bright and fatiguing with certain music.
