Dear Colleagues,
I have a good friend who has moderate to severe hearing loss and although she can hear speech pretty well, thanks to her digital hearing aids, she is having big issues with hearing music. She claims that music sounds flat and distorted and that she can't hear melodies.
She feels that part of the problem may have to do with bandwidth as hearing aids are designed for speech. She also says that if a piece of music is in a certain key such as C she will hear it as a Bb.
As a music lover this has become a big issue for her and I wanted to see if anyone might have any ideas or any engineers I might be able to refer her to.
Regards,
Ross
