System for the hearing impaired


I have given up trying to listen to my system with my digital hearing aids. Without my aids, I miss the upper mids and highs. With them, the sound is unbearably harsh and compressed( i. e. unbearable). I never did like headphones.... Does anyone have any non sarcastic ideas or experience with a similar problem? I sure wish a company would put out "classic" versions of there old analog hearing aids for all of us aging audiophiles. If folks can spend 100K on a system ( I cannot), you'd think there would also be a niche market for this.

I agree with Yogiboy. I would try an EQ like he says. You can get something pretty decent for a low price. At the very least, it can be use temp. solution until you get the hearing aid issues solved.

I have a couple of EQ myself that I use for bad recordings. One is analog and is made by dbx. It goes for about $200. The other is digital EQ made by Behringer. The model is DEQ2496 and goes for about $350. Any decent music store should have those 2 units in stock. I got both of mine from Guitar Center. They have a return policy if you end up not liking it.
