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?

At 74 I am on my third pair of aids. The first two were so bad that I couldn't stand to wear them. Expensive well known brands - but awful, particularly with music. Now using Widex 440 and couldn't be happier. Very natural sounding: no edginess, no grit and grain, no fatigue.
