when your hearing is not as good as it was . . .


I'm 68, and too much loud live rock contributed to what they call mild-to-moderate hearing loss. So.

What will no longer make a difference in terms of my components? What can I sacrifice, because I can no longer hear it? 

Will Bluetooth sound the same from my DAC vs going through my preamp for example? 

Can I hear the diff between a tube (Freya) and solid state preamp? 

Can anyone share their experience and if they've done anything to their systems?

Check out speakers like a Martin Logan's with a Folded Motion Tweeter.

I have a pair of ML 15i and they seems to keep the hi frequencies more noticeable  as compared to a soft dome tweeter. Electrostatic and Magnepans speakers will also be an improvement in this area.

I too wear the Jabra Enhance Select H.A. and it is hard to dial them in while listening to music. I just upgraded to the new Select 300 and for me they sound better overall YMMV.
