Curious to know the relationship between hearing aids and audio systems for music. Does the fact someone uses hearing aids mean diminishing returns will happen more quickly (compared to someone who does not require hearing aids) when investing in audio gear for listening to music—e.g., amp, DAC, speakers, etc.?
I was playing something for my mother-in-law the other day (pointing out how amazing the speakers were at handling vocals). She uses hearing aids and after the fact I thought, I wonder if they had a large effect on her listening experience compared to myself.
I would guess this is not as applicable to something like bass, but could be wrong. Thanks in advance for the responses.

All hearing aids are not the same. Some hearing aids can be manufactured and tuned specifically for listening to recorded music. A really competent audiologist can do this for audiophiles who can explain what they are or are not hearing in a familiar recording. As with all high end audio equipment, these hearing aids can be VERY expensive.
