Advice on how to liquidate system

Few weeks ago, I sustained traumatic blast induced hearing loss during a training incident. The level of hearing loss and tinnitus is pretty bad, I’ve had only a minimal level of improvement. midrange and upper frequencies sound like a 1970’s transistor radio. Horrible. The reality of the situation is looking like my audiophile days are pretty much over. Now I’m thinking of what to do with the gear…the thought of dismantling my rig and selling piece by piece is nauseating. Are there any resources that would come in and take it all? At this point I really don’t give a crap about being lowballed, it’s aggravating to look at what Ive put so much time and effort into and not be able to enjoy it. I need to move on.

After the incident went straight to the doc, as I thought I had ruptured my ear drum (thankfully not the case) then went to a ENT and Audiologist for a battery of tests. I have more testing to undergo. The audiologist was straight up and said the level of loss i sustained was significant. Time will tell I guess.

Erik thanks. I’m open to all solutions, what’s going on here is multifaceted. midrange and upper frequencies sound static and harsh. My right ear sounds like there’s a fax machine in it and the left ear sounds like Im wearing a 30db earplug.
I’m using a coupe of tinnitus apps to mitigate the fax machine going off 24/7 in my head and I’m bio-hacking with magnesium / NAC / ginko for what it’s worth…collectively it offers some relief.

Who is responsible for the accident? Sustained on the job? Sounds like you need a Lawyer who can get you proper compensation including the cost of your system which may be useless to you now. Good luck

Don't sell your system for a year, you never know what tomorrow may bring.
