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.

Hi
i have had Hearing aids  fior several years...it has greatly helped in increasing my music enjoyment...I have Top model Oticon and use music program program software....the key is finding an good Audiologist who will work with you in fitting and programing your aids!Modern mics and digital platforms in current generation Hearing aids when programed and fitted properly provide amazing clarity,depth,focus and even give back ability to pick up  subtle cues like decay, stage cues ,localization Etc
hope this helps 
Yes is challenge ...need work closely with On cutting out limiters and bells whistles when using fior music...also close work comprehension-ratios etc...been very fortunate to have good working relationships with audiologist on works with me on digital settings that have greatly helped getting sn ratio  in 105 db plus range ..  but comes at steep $price$ they are not cheap !
agree it challenge but is getting better...my loss  genetic so not much I can do. But I do have music in my life that is most important thing to me
