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

I highly encourage you to consider some EQ/DSP to help you enjoy music better, including possibly using headphones and software to help compensate.  There are some really excellent sounding headphones and amps that with some EQ can really be satisfying.
