    I have hearing loss, and from this thread I gather most of you have it too lol. Yeah, probably sound mixing is bad, but do yourself a favor and get checked. Your life quality can really improve if you treat this condition.

      I have a slight hearing loss. If I play a movie with a sound designed for 5.1 on stereo, I will really have a hard time understanding the dialogue. If I switch to 2.0 (if available), I can hear almost everything perfectly.

          I have minor hearing loss, I guess i’m just afraid it would sound more artificial. I’m an audiophile so the thought of music suddenly sounding bad scares me. Maybe I have it wrong though.

            Newer aids are configured by frequency band, like an equalizer. Depending on the type of loss you experience, it would probably just improve things only where you need to, and leave the rest as is. You should try one
