Lost all hearing in one ear, is it worth upgrading speakers?


I was in the process of upgrading my speakers( Goldenear Triton 1s driven by McIntosh amp and pre) when I lost complete hearing in one ear. Will not come back and can not be helped by hearing aide or cochlear implant etc. I was about to upgrade to possible Vandersteen 5a or carbon when it happened. Obviously I cannot enjoy the music as before but would I appreciate the difference in speakers if I upgraded? Soundstage, presence, sweet spot ,stereo are all gone or compromised. Has anyone else experienced this and how have you accommodated?Not seeking sympathy just options!

I have a hearing imbalance that bothers me when I just listen to music. But when I smoke a pipe while listening, I can just relax and enjoy the music (and the pipe).
