I'm 70 years old, and my hearing is lousy. Basically, I can't hear anything above 6K, and my hearing declines precipitously between 5K and 6K. I love listening to music; it's one of the calming effects in my life, and I want to continue enjoying it. I've been using headphones more and more as I've gotten older (Audio Technica ATH-M40x) but they are uncomfortable to use for extended lengths of time. I don't know whether open-back headphones would be any more comfortable, and I am unsure of the bass response of open-back headphones.
One bad thing is that there are no great variety of 'phones available locally for me to audition. The local availability of nearfield speakers (should I decide to explore that route) is even worse, which is why I've been using the 'phones. It's sort of a "between a rock and a hard place" situation.
For any other "oldsters" out there ...... how have you handled this problem? Jim Taylor
