Have you looked into the Bluetooth enabled hearing aids? You can connect directly to your device and hear the music fit to your hearing deficiencies. Headphones over hearing aids does not work very well.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Perhaps something like 7dayshop Fusion Pro Low latency Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver Kit with aptX[^] Not used one myself but the reviews look good. /Darren
You, Sir, are a star. That is just the kind of magic thingy I was looking for. At 20 quid it is definitely worth a punt. In fact, I shall probably get a pair, and use the second one for the few occasions I watch the telly, when MrsLadyWife™ complains I need the volume too high. It actually looks rather as if it is a modified hands free job, as per the Nagy Vilmos post. Have a zillion rep-points (or a very small part thereof). :laugh:

I don't think its possible to send audio via Bluetooth to a phone, Bluetooth has strict source/sink rules. Omit the phone and use Bluetooth headphones (which are getting much better, but not Stax better) and what you suggest would work.

I am doing that every day in my car. My phone is seen like a storage media over Bluetooth by the car sound system.

I hope the device lives up to the reviews, Let me know how it works out for you. /Darren

So you car's stereo sends music to your phone, rather than the other way around?

well, no. My car stereo picks up the music from the phone, which is seen as a storage media. Just like a USB key.

It seems, that due to being a competitive shootist in my earlier years, coupled with years of motor-cycling before the industry invented low wind-noise helmets, under domestic pressure I will now have to wear hearing aids. A recent hearing test shows that my hearing is OK at low frequencies, but tails off rapidly as the frequency increases. :(( I often listen to music in the evenings using my Stax or Sennheiser headphones, while MrsLadyWife watches TV, but I now need to shape the sound to match my hearing, as per the hearing aid graphs. I have a good graphic equalizer loaded on my Android, and some good headphones to go with it, so I need to be able to plug a Bluetooth or WiFi thingy into the RCA out from my pre-amp, and pick it up on my Android, and thus to the headphones. So - does the hive mind of CP have any suggestions of how I should set about this? What kind of 'thingy' do I need? I should point out that headphones cannot be used with the hearing aids I am currently evaluating, and anyway, the sound quality is very poor. Please shout your reply very loudly, or I won't hear you. :laugh:
Simply use the new-fangled pitch correction available in audio software to take the music down a few semitones, until you can hear the high bits again ;-) Plus you can get interesting artifacts, like vocals sounding strangely metallic, but that seems pretty common in modern music for some reason anyway. Not for a minute suggesting that modern pop stars are selected for looks rather than ability, no sir.

Okay, but previously you stated that your car stereo was sending audio via Bluetooth to your phone. :confused:

You may be onto something there Griff, personally I would get the new ChromeCast Audio device. Then using the eq function in something like BubbleUpnp you could adjust the eq as required. I'm not sure if it would work, yet, I'm picking up my ChromeCast Audio device tonight, I will update when I've tried it.

second the vote for chromecast audio. It's only about $10 more expensive than the cheapest chinese junk-quality wifi dlna box, and works reliably.
