In that regard, I don't know if "Help" is the right word. It may be that the amping up of those once-hidden higher range sounds might be considered distortion to another person, but to me it seems to add back the crispness. I was having to raise the treble, probably to what might be considered an extreme to others without the hearing problem. It's those higher range sounds that we lose first.

Without being able to know what perfect hearing really is now, I'll gladly settle for thinking that what I'm enjoying now is very nice if not the actual, true sound.

Here's something that my otologist told me that made sense. The vowel sounds carry volume. The higher range sounds (clicks, pops, hisses of the consonants) carry meaning. The latter is the first we lose so that for many that think that they're hearing volume fine, they're actually only hearing parts of the sounds they need for comprehension.
