Do you still enjoy what you hear when listening to live music? There is no way for you to "adjust" the sound of a live performance to compensate for your hearing loss. In fact, the brain does a better job than most people would think possible in compensating for hearlng loss as we age. At just shy of 70 and with my own hearing deficiencies, I still enjoy music as much as I ever have.
That said, the best way for a consumer to pick out a component is to listen, preferably in your home setting, and then select the unit within your budget that sounds best -- to you. You may -- or may not -- find that EQ or tone controls enhance your experience. Me? I'm perfectly fine without them. YMMV.
