Aren't hearing aids just small amplifiers? 
Hmmm, a couple of monoblocks inserted in my ears. Might not be a bad idea Bray!

Or just get headphones and bypass the whole speaker / room acoustics / hearing aid thing...
I do like the idea of room EQ in a hearing aid though...

What are you trying to take the fun out of it John?
You know, this talk about these hi-tech hearing aids may have me on to something. Every time I talk to my mother in law she just looks at me real funny and goes to humming...now I'm thinking that woman just may have Tony Bennett blasting in there!
Maybe they know something that we don't!

Well, I watched the NASCAR race this afternoon and when I really cranked it up, the meter was reading somewhere in the 80-85 dB range with a peak or two in the 87-88 range. That was really too loud for me to listen to for more than a couple of minutes!!!!
I really don't know how you guys listen to 90-100 dB sound. I don't think that would be fun for me.
But, then again, when I attend a NASCAR race in person, I wear earplugs the whole time. LOL!!! No kidding!!

That Biffle is on a roll huh?
Wow, 80-85dbs isn't what I would consider to be too terribly loud. But if your stuck listeing to the likes of Darrell Waltrip for 3 hours at a time I can see where 35 dbs would be outrageous. The boys in the booth blew it on that Stewart-Gordon incident (I mean take-down!), was saying how Jeff just lost it....right up until the replay.

Try doing sound for the local bar bands for a few years, plus target shooting, plus motocross, plus going to a lot of loud concerts and sitting in front of the compression horns (no I don't think my Axioms are bright, why do you ask ?) and you'll find yourself going "pardon ?" at 80 dB
