Like many, when I was a teen I went to concerts and liked my music LOUD. But over the years I found that I enjoyed the music much more when it was at a low-to-medium sound level. I can listen much better for each instrument and find that relaxing. When I got my current hifi set-up last year, everyone assumed I would be blasting the volume, which was not the case. I have the power I do for clarity of the music and not for blasting sound pressure levels. Sorry, but I have no recommendations for OP’s question.
My hearing deficits are becoming clear...
Gents,
I am a life-long audiophile with a nice system which I enjoy immensely. For years I have had problems comprehending conversations in lively rooms with lots of folks speaking at once, but it has not diminished one iota my enjoyment of my audio system. However, today, in a room with 5 guys talking over a football game on the TV, I was just flummoxed trying to understand what the heck anyone was saying. The aural dissonance just drove me nuts so I departed, realizing that I need to address his deficit.
I reach out to my friends on this forum for recommendations for hearing aids for an audiophile like myself. I prefer tube amplification in my system, but I don't suppose that is possible with hearing aids. I'd look silly walking down the street with a 12AX7 tube sticking out of each ear, right? Any input would be much appreciated. Mark in Sacramento
