Advice on how to liquidate system

@jl1ny I’m deeply sorry regarding your injury. I would also recommend not selling.

Give yourself time and maybe some improvement can come regarding your condition. The science of audiology and medical surgical intervention is always advancing.

My own personal story regarding the sale of a Hifi system was when my father died. We were never close, and he passed in my early 20’s and my siblings sold off everything of his. Now in my 40’s I’m in love with Hifi just as he was, and would happily box my system and save it for my child (now 1 year old) to give it to him at a later time at the very least. I deeply regret not hanging on to his system and record collection.

Your system often becomes a part of you (memories, joy, a journey, etc). Hold on to it. Hold on to your health and recovery, hold on to hope.

You are getting good advice here.  Don't sell and don't give up.  I lost my hearing for 2 or 3 days at a very loud rock concert. It eventually came back with some tinnitus that, some days I can mentally block it out and other days I cannot.  No cure for that, you just have to deal with it.

I’m in the “don’t sell, yet” camp. Suffering a traumatic injury is bad enough. Let some time go by and ignore the stereo system for a couple months. Go to a fabric store and buy some nice cloth to lay onto the components. It’ll look decent, keep the dust off and you won’t have to look at it. Who knows, with luck, you’ll start a whole new love affair with music and your system?

 I’m sorry about the accident. 
hang in there!

As many others have said, do not sell. If it were me in your shoes and I sold my system, I would immediately regret my decision. 

If you do get hearing aids find an audiologist who sells Widex aids. They are the most natural sounding aids I could find. Truly wonderful. Other brands costing $6500 and more sound like the worst class D from hell you can imagine. Believe me, I found out the hard and very expensive way.
