Although it seems counter intuitive, sometimes it helps clarify what you're hearing if you turn your aid down a bit.For me, that cuts down on the overly loud "sss" and "hard" sounds. It's still difficult for me to understand words, but less volume helps...sometimes. It doesn't work at all with music, however.
Welcome to Connect, @buzzmccracken You sure do have an unusual problem! I have never heard of such a thing. I doubt there are many audiologists who are practiced in such a unique problem, unless your hearing aids can be adjusted to a different setting. I hope you can find an audiologist who can help you, it sounds as if music is very important to you. I wish I could help more, but as I said, the only thing I can think of is a different setting on your HAs since obviously your hearing cannot be changed. You might want to see if there is a specific brand of hearing aids that is favored by people in the music industry.
