Pipebro:
I'm 76 and have loss in my right (rifle) ear from the Army. Also tinnitus that rides at what sounds like about 50db to me. I know that's a meaningless spec, but it'll drive you nuts if you let it.
I have 2 thoughts: 1) Yes, pay a lot of attention to your room acoustics. I found that some really painful brass and soprano cuts were due to bad reflections. 2) Move a bit closer and be willing to accept some limitation on your use of high volume. Sometimes my tinnitus is really bad and I watch more TV.
My hearing loss does not seem to affect my ability to note transients, attack transients, images, depth, layering or soundstage. I know I wouldn't get them if I give up and switch to a background system from Walmart.
Another member on another thread suggested Ginko. Who knows? But I ain't giving up this hobby until I'm really deef!
