Equalizer for hearing loss


I created a thread ' high quality equalizer' but think this title more appropriate as I'm dealing with hearing loss and hoping others may benefit from the discussion :)  I just had ear exam and am down 20 to 30 db in left and right ears to 4000cps. Down 90 db at 6000cps (or hz) , and 80 db at 8000. Trying a basic hearing aid now and thrilled with newfound music listening pleasure ! I also have tinnitus that's too loud to measure-as a result of a head injury from a car accident in 1989. I'll post more later.

So far so good, for this much older "old-timer." Only the age-related reduction of high frequencies as a resident in the suburbs. I've read that such loss does not happen for those living far from such civilization noise, or at least not as much.

I took a SPL meter outside to see what the background noise level is. I read around 49 dB, C-weighted. If I go out to the remote areas, it's really quiet there, without any wind (didn't have the SPL meter with me then - next time).
