Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories?


65-year-old retired gent here has been wearing Oticon top-of-the-line hearing aids for three years now. My hearing loss is quite pronounced (see audiogram link herein).

Using my iPhone and AirPod pros with this audiogram from the (Health app) yields spectacular results. Now I’d like to see what can be achieved using an equalizer to mimic my audiogram and an amp driving floor standing speakers.

My hearing is similar to yours. I have been using the audio app in my hearing aids and am quite happy with it. I have tried Equalizer APO with digital sources in my computer when not wearing hearing aids and it is OK but not as good as my hearing aids. I have not tried an external EQ but don't see why it would not work. The LOKIUS would probably work best since it has 3 bands that you coul adjust instead of 2.
