If you are losing voice, then your frequency range is dropping, likely to well below 10khz.
I have hearing loss, and find that a musician's ear can compensate for a lot. I hear things others don't, but not because my ears are better but because my brain is trained to differentiate sounds others ignore.
My freq ranges tops out at 10-11khz, which isn't great, but isn't disabling yet. Triangles don't sound like they used to for example, but voice is ok, except in a loud restaurant I lose voices before others do.
I have hearing aids, but don't use them except when going out to said loud restaurants. They help there, but generally make music less fun as they are not hi-fi devices. It is much more money to get decent hi-fi devices I hear, but I have not done it.
My mother is nearly deaf, and prefers to play piano in small groups without hearing aids (and does fine), but cannot have a conversation without them.
For TV, I use bose (or sony) hi-fi bluetooth noise cancelling headphones ($300). On my computer (where I watch netflix) I can tweak the response curve (30 band EQ), and the fidelity is amazing. :-) I also keep the volume low to try to avoid further hearing loss (never mind the loud concert band I play in, I need ear plugs, not hearing aids for that one).
