Hearing aids for audiophiles?

Is there such a thing? I have hesitated getting them for music listening reasons. I manage ok in everyday situations but I know outside of listening to music they would benefit me. I have, in my opinion, a beautiful system that I throughly enjoy.  Sure I could get the aids for day to day hearing other than music but taking them out for music I fear would provide un enjoyable results.

gtsynder,
It's gratifying to know that you are still able to enjoy listening to music.  I agree with you and am optimistic that hearing aids will continue to improve and eventually solve the challenge  of listening to music in a satisfying manner.

It seems that modern hearing aids have helped many people in terms of better understanding human voice/one on one conversation. Music listening is a different matter and there's still much improvement/advancement needed. Music listening is a complex challenge. Amplifying noise and sounds is very different from preserving the natural sound of the healthy ear. Just not there yet.
