I've been through this. Time to find a hearing aid specialist and get a good set of hearing aids. Don't go cheap. Mine are by Beltone and you can control the settings from an app on your phone. And if you have an iPhone, you can stream phone calls and other sounds direct to the hearing aids. Its great. Its not a perfect solution but nothing is.
My hearing deficits are becoming clear...
Gents,
I am a life-long audiophile with a nice system which I enjoy immensely. For years I have had problems comprehending conversations in lively rooms with lots of folks speaking at once, but it has not diminished one iota my enjoyment of my audio system. However, today, in a room with 5 guys talking over a football game on the TV, I was just flummoxed trying to understand what the heck anyone was saying. The aural dissonance just drove me nuts so I departed, realizing that I need to address his deficit.
I reach out to my friends on this forum for recommendations for hearing aids for an audiophile like myself. I prefer tube amplification in my system, but I don't suppose that is possible with hearing aids. I'd look silly walking down the street with a 12AX7 tube sticking out of each ear, right? Any input would be much appreciated. Mark in Sacramento
