Anyone else find music with SSHL off key?

As I get older my hearing is getting worse, no surprise there. I have had tinnitus for years as a background sound and that is now part of my hearing deficit.
When I walk or bike alone, I use my light-weight, $15 headphones (like Sony MDR-ZX110) and my MP3 player to listen to music.
The sound is clear and wonderful! I can hear from bass up through the midrange with no problem.
Because I am an electronic engineer I keep wondering why someone does not make a small device that has a full range microphone on each ear of a set of headphones with an adjustable 5 or 6 frequency band filter so that one can adjust the volume in each band until it sounds "right" for each persons individual hearing loss. This would make a great "hearing aid". Anyone know of such a device? It could be made quite inexpensivly. I know you would look kind of geeky holding a conversation with headphones on but in this age of electronics it is commonly seen when interviewing people on TV.

Since many bluetooth devices have setting you can change. I would check that out. Like my Shokz bone conductive headset, I can adjust the levels of bass, treble, and mid-range. Plus they have a few presets that might work. Good luck in your search!!!
I have autophony and can't tolerate any background sounds. Can't find help though doctors are trying different things. I have looked for that kind of device to use for church and SS. Stores say the do not make them any more. One came with my husbands hearing aid but worked only with them. Hearing aids cause very stressful background sounds. I keep looking. Maybe someone will respond to your request. I pray so.

@crossette, since you're an electrical engineer. and you know what your talking about and you know what you want. why don't you build them yourself? just find a computer designer to help you out. simple? (NO). (YES). (MAYBE). 🤷♂️🤷♂️.
