Re: Hearing aids and performance

I have a similar problem to you, too much time working on jet engines 50 years ago. I've recently been fitted with digital hearing aids in both ears, but my experience was somewhat different to yours. I found that my tone production suffered, as I wasn't hearing what I expected to hear. I also found that C4 caused resonance which added a whistling sound to the note. I mentioned this to the audiologist, and she tried tuning it out, but this was only partially successfull. Eventually, the only thing that overcame the problem to my satisfaction is to turn them off while I'm playing and turn them on again when I've finished. In every other regard they have transformed my life for the better. I don't get the resonance listening to music, only when playing myself.
