It’s the high frequencies that you lose first. I can’t give you any advice about any gear you can do without now, though. I think that’s a little too specific to you, your system and your hearing for anyone to give you any realistic advice. There’s a long discussion about equalizers (link below), which can help by boosting the frequencies you’re not hearing so well anymore.
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?
