Hearing problems and speaker upgrade


Like many 68 year olds I have developed hearing issues at the high end. My new hearing aids help in conversation but to me interfere with the sound of my system— highs are clearer maybe but sharp and shrill (plus it just makes sense to me that the hearing aid speakers aren’t as high quality as the speakers/system I’ve put together over the years). So I remove hearing aids when listening. So I’m wondering… is it worth it to upgrade my 40-year-old speakers? Will better speakers help get me back closer to what I was hearing before? Should I just accept the change in sound and adjust to it? Any insights appreciated! Thanks

You need hearing aids with a hifi music setting.  Costco sells them. they are excellent.  Not quite like being 25 again but close.

Your hearing aids are focused on speach and eliminate "noise" including music.  A hearing aid with hifi music setting lets in all the frequencies and adjusts for your ears to flatten the curve.
