I see people like Schitt, I would get/try the Lokius 6 band version.
Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories?
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.

I was thinking sure you can get an eq and make the same adjustments but looking at your chart it seems that standard eq's can't apply that much gain to the signal. But you could attenuate the freq's that you hear will and boost the bad ones and maybe the net result will get you pretty close. I agree with the options mentioned above...Schitt or Mini DSP and REW. |
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. |
Equalizer 1st you are adjusting frequencies for the space (not your hearing). SPL meter and test cd needed, needs tripod hole, at listening location at seated ear height
https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Pressure-30-130dBA-Warranty/dp/B00ECCZWWI test cd, (low price now, snap it up)! https://www.discogs.com/release/7290000-Various-Amazing-Bytes Make Notes: That setting is for the space and friends whom do not have hearing issues. 2nd. How is that with your hearing aids in? Slight adjustment by ear? Make notes, that’s your small adjustment with hearing aids in, listening alone or with a friend. 3rd. with hearing aids out. Adjust by ear AFTER making room settings by measurements. 2 or 3 above: hearing aids in or out: which more relaxed, more enjoyable, more involving! |
