Hearing aids change the sound of the music?


I am new to wearing hearing aids and am an audio buff. I would like to know if they are changing the actual sound of the music for me.

Absolutely, they have to change the sound of the music. Modern digital aides are better than the old analogue ones, heresy in HiFi circles, I know.

Firstly you are going from a state of impaired hearing, usually with progressive high tone frequency loss. This in itself will have steadily impaired your experience of music on your rig.

Secondly, just look at the size of the devices, amplification is crude at best. Perhaps there is a business opportunity in marketing "Audiophile" hearing aides. I can see my first million already.
