Hearing aids for audiophiles?


Is there such a thing? I have hesitated getting them for music listening reasons. I manage ok in everyday situations but I know outside of listening to music they would benefit me. I have, in my opinion, a beautiful system that I throughly enjoy.  Sure I could get the aids for day to day hearing other than music but taking them out for music I fear would provide un enjoyable results.

Hi, 
I new to posting here but have purchased from Audigon in the past as well as recently.  I am currently 'demoing' Oticon vs Widex to see which I prefer.  I have severe tinnitus, sounds like white noise with a high frequency all the time, it only varies in volume.  I've had this for years.  At some point I stopped listening to music, which I love, because it wasn't enjoyable.  Sold all my 2 channel gear.  Decided I would just stick with HT for movie watching.  When I decided to get tested, I was shocked at the results.  I hear low volume fine, at about 10db.  It continues to decline sharply at 1K and goes straight to 90db at 8k.  This is profound hearing loss, exactly the same in both ears.  I grew up in NE swimming and diving in very cold water...this may have something to do with it. 
This is what I've found so far and it's only been a few days.  First, my gear is not audiophile level so be clear and I don't pretend it is.  However when I put my Original Master (purchased many years ago) of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, I was in shock.  Understand it's just a Rega turntable played through a Marantz SR6013 to G.E. Triton 5's with a JL Dominion d-108 but for me it was a wonderful experience.  What we used to call headroom, lowest lows to highest highs was opened up for me again.  There was sound staging that I hadn't heard ever on this setup.  I still have a California Audio CD player that I purchased here and have had extensive work done to it so that it's like new thinking it would improve the sound.  It didn't but it was because of my hearing.  So I also played Holly Cole - I can see clearly now - WOW, just beautiful.
For me the hearing aids have opened everything up for me.  Does it mean I will go back to try getting the perfect sound.  Well, I'm retired now so budgets and other expenses will most likely prevent it but a little upgrade here and there may be available to me through the pre-owned path.  
I just signed up for these, figured I give them a shot:

my hearing is pretty good but I have fairly severe roll off at 4K and a moderate case of tinnitus. I don’t need hearing aids 24/7 but it would be nice to hear my music and the tv clearly again...🤷🏼

Ok guys I'm going to throw in my 2 cents worth and I will stay on topic. My first hearing aids were Beltone. Every setting is based on the equalizer in the app. If I've set it for regular conversation I can switch to the equalizer and see what they have chosen. The equalizer is divided into bass mid and highs. I quickly realized I could fine tune the 3 of them to get something acceptable for my hi fi system. Hi end speakers are very clear and dynamic. The whole basis of hearing aid is first clarity of speech. This makes them very treble sounding in nature. I find when setting the Beltone app equalizer to the lowest setting it still appears a bit to harsh. Although definitely better than before equalization. Enter a pair of Otican More for a free trial. These have a very natural sound much better than I have heard to date. I stream a few high res tunes from my Tidal app the equalizer comes up I fine tune it and the results are exceptional. I head to my listening room elated that I can do this with the equalizer. Shoot me dead the equalizer will only function when you stream from the phone All of their chosen settings to put it brazenly SUCK. You have no other options as the equalizer is not available. The earpieces on these things are exceptional.They fit tight with zero feedback.However am I going to pay 6 grand for something that doesn't allow me to listen to my 20 grand rig.Enter next on my trial the Widex Moment. To keep it short I find that the equalizer will function while listening as well as streaming. Just to add, first thing I noticed was that the sound was not near as natural as the Oticons. Anyway are you ready for this.the equalizer must have been set up by someone who listens to MP3's. When increasing the bass from lowest to highest it created a sound that didn't have anything to do with deeper base.The lowest treble setting was still screeching at me. My old Beltones still gave me the best equalizer but had nowhere that natural sound of the Oticons. So for what its worth if the hearing aid companies in consultation with a skilled audiophile create a good equalizer then we will get much better sound. But you know as well as I do that's probably not going to happen. The priorities are making it possible for semi deaf people to hear properly. Great equalization is the only way. Selected music presets will not work for audiophiles and I don't have to list the reasons why. P.S. I contacted Oticon and praised them up on their good points but mentioned we need that equalizer to perform in all settings. My answer,We will submit your suggestion to the technical department. I'm not holding my breath. End of rant.Art

I wear behind-the-ear hearing aids for 2-channel listening and in-ear hearing aids for headphones. 

67 years old, moderate hearing loss and tinnitus. I tried top of the line Phonaks (in ear and behind ear), did not enjoy. Switched to ReSound top of the line. Much better experience. Decent sound with my current setup, nearfield KEF LS50 Wireless II's. I was once a Rogers LS35a owner/fan. Fortunately, the ReSound allows me to recapture some of the old bliss. Of course I will never experience the near perfection of my Verity Parsifal Encores powered by Art Audio Diavolo...but I enjoy listening still, and that's what matters.
