The issues I see with the Martin angle are: one, your memory of sound is not nearly as reliable as you think it is and two, no two Martins sound the same. Either way, that could lead you to thinking things sound odd/off when they actually are not.

I would not adjust my hearing to optimize for guitar sound. Optimize for ineligibility of speech instead. That's way more important than my sense of the "correctness" of how a guitar sounds.

I can get used to how a guitar sounds. Saying "huh?" and "say again" etc. and all the guessing/faking/bluffing is really tiresome.
I'm not at the stage of getting hearing aids yet, but I play guitar more than I talk to people. Guitar would be more important to me, personally.
