Hearing aid question

Their answer was in response to the following:

For ASI, it appears the audiophile market is untapped although your product may be the best available solution. An audiophile wish list would be very high quality microphones with known frequency response curves with your electronics flattening that curve. (You may have that, but don’t publish it). Just 20-20,000 hz, without +/- on db. You should also expand the number of adjustable frequency bands, with potential slope adjustments on the bands. I believe Audiophiles would spend $K’s on such a product.

Would audiophile hearing aids be any good for helping to understand speech in different environments, or would you need a 2nd pair of hearing aids for that? I would be a customer for audiophile hearing aids, but I'd need them to perform just as well for other purposes.

Unfortunately, there are no audiophile hearing aids. The IEM’s, such as the ASI’s would work for voice also but are ear buds with a small belt pack so not inconspicuous. I also read that while other voices sound fine, your own voice sounds weird. 
Quality hearing aids are very small and inconspicuous, but are designed for voice. They have music settings to improve music listening and help a lot for listening to music for those with hearing loss. 
There is no perfect solution. For me, I think my best solution is hearing aids for the real world and the ASI’s for music. If only one purchase, I would choose hearing aids. However, IMHO doing nothing is not a wise choice.

Side comment, some studies have shown a link between untreated hearing loss and dementia. With dementia and untreated hearing loss in my family, my choice was easy… and my music sounds much better!

@signaforce - yeah, maybe in the future there will be something like that. I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years now and tend to upgrade them every 4 or 5 years. They have gotten better and most have 'music' programs and very basic Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ. No, it's far from perfect but it's the best I've heard in a long time (just got new ones a couple weeks ago), and I can also use them for speech, TV, etc etc. I will be getting a pair of in-the-canal ones for use with my headphones; I've got one pair of those now, but I don't like them that much, even though the headphones still sound a lot better with them than without them. 

Yes, see an Audiologist and invest in programmable hearing aid that correct for your specific hearing loss.  You can’t get this level of correction buying something off the shelf.  Additionally, quality aids will have filtering programs specifically for listening to music.  No hearing aid will solve your loss, but good aids can change your life…and maybe help your marriage 😆
