So much depends on the severity and type of hearing loss you have. Many people have sensorineural loss of the higher frequencies that can be compensated with programmable digital hearing aids. Some people have frequency blocks and cannot hear accurately within certain frequency ranges. Their audophile days are over. I've had a sensorineural loss of higher frequencies for 30 years and still enjoy my audio experience so it can be done. Highly recommend staying away from cheap, generic aids that are not programmed to your particular loss. No hearing aids will fix your loss, but high quality aids programmed by a professional Audiologist can be life changing. Don't go cheap on aids and continue to be an Audiophile!
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
