My wife and ENT tell me I need hearing aids (down more than 30db with a significant L/R difference, and huge 40db dips at 3-6k recovering at 8k. So not flat at all. I no that hearing aids are "tuned" for speech and to enhance the listening experience. So, I'm thinking they wouldn't be very useful in trying to determine how the music you're mixing sounds to everyone else.
Hopefully some of you have tried it and can provide some guidance. Thanks.
BTW, I searched the forum for "hearing aid" and only found a couple of instances where the phrase was used as a pejorative. No I'm guessing mixing while wearing hearing aids is a bad idea.
