My dad is hard of hearing. It's a neural degenerative condition and it gets steadily worse. He hasn't been able to listen to and appreciate music in about 20 years because one ear is deteriorating more than the other. I'm not just an audio nerd, I'm also an electronics nerd. I went out and bought a headphone amp kit for him, based on two LM386 amps. Because it was a reasonably cheap kit, it had dual independent volume knobs, so he was able to get the balance right. I got him to try out that amp using my SRH750DJ's and my ancient Technics CD player/receiver. I think he shed a tear.
