I've had a high frequency loss since the late 60's from mostly stupid behavior involving music and power equipment.
Over the last decade it has reached what an audiologist would term a profound loss across a lot of the spectrum. BUT ...

I have a young, smart audiologist and she was early on fascinated by my use of terminology such as EQ, compression, decibels, etc.

So together we have worked out different presets for my aids. One for general use, one for nature hikes, etc., and importantly one for mixing. Working with her and my younger wife who has amazing ears I've been able to continue and enjoy mixing ... and listening to music in general.

Soooo ... if your audiologist doesn't "get it" I'd suggest another one or if necessary buy the aids online making sure you get some that allow you to set all the parameters. My experience has been that most audiologists focus almost entirely on hearing speech well and program to reduce extraneous noises that interfere with that. But that does not enhance the music experience. IMHO it has to be custom all the way ... not just a routine of boosting your deficient ranges. And any resemblance to hearing aid technology developed over the past five years compared to older tech is coincidental.
