How can I improve music listening experience with hearing aids on my iPhone?

25 years ago I was in an audiologist's office for the first time. After all the tests he came out with a slight smile on his face. His almost exact words were, "Ahhh, classic BabyBoomer hearing loss!" Evidently too many outdoor concerts.

25 years later I am in an audiologist's office. We have become good friends over the past decade. Again, coming out of the booth. "Well Tom, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is your going dear. The good news is you won't be totally deaf."

But I digress. It's really no surprise to me. In the last few years I have had to raise the volume on my iPhone to hear music. Still ok with voice. With regular speakers not a problem, I just crank the volume up (if no one present). Hearing aids under headsets is really harsh and totally distorts the sound. I want to make it clear (no pun intended) that probably not much can be done. What I will be missing is the richness of audio music to be replaced with "bigger" hearing aid types. Not whining. Just reality for a 77 year old audiophile. Thanks!
