Help for Hearing Loss

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

My father is an 88 year old audiophile who has suffered some moderate hearing loss. He no longer enjoys his big Naim/ Pro Ac system. Two years ago I bought him a Schiit Modi/Magni system and hooked it up to a nice Project cd transport. He enjoyed listening to cds on it until recently. He has always used dynamic headphones, specifically Grado and Sennheiser. Two decades ago he had a Stax system.

My question is this; would trying some different types of headphones possibly help him?Perhaps some IEMs or planar magnetic? Maybe go all the way and dish out the cash for a new Stax system. The headphone world is still new to me. Anyone's relevant experience would be appreciated. I know nothing about audiology.
