So here’s a related question for those of us suffering with hearing loss:
Does it make sense to spring for expensive guitars, when you know you’re not going to really be able to appreciate all their wonderfulness? I can still tell the difference between different guitars, and can still tell the difference between a Martin and a Rogue. But I know that my hearing is getting worse almost by the day. The choice seems to be to tolerate the suppression of higher frequencies without hearing aids, or to tolerate the “listening through a cheap transistor radio” effect with hearing aids. I’m starting to feel like someone who smokes three packs of cigarettes a day springing for a $300 bottle of wine...
