Midrange hearing loss, u shape.

@raymondsimmons 

May I ask how serious your hearing loss is?

Try this with headphones: 

beyond just using this, there are supplments you can take to strengthen your hearing. Rather upsetting to hear this...since I know a few friends and family that are deaf.

Listen with any decent set of headphones. It has helped a few people so far that previously suffered from noise-induced hearing loss in the midrange and upper treble.

I know for purist the best approach is the most direct path with least amount of components.  So most audiophiles I suspect frown upon using EQs.   I had years back a nice silver faced Luxman EQ.   I would think inserting an EQ into the circuit would allow you to compensate for your loss.   Just one idea and not saying it’s the best idea.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Being a life long music lover and audiophile it's tough not being able to enjoy the hobby the way I once did.
