What would be worse imho is if she loses/lost her ability to sing for the same reason that Linda Ronstadt lost her ability (Parkinson's Disease, which caused her to be unable to regulate her breathing) or if she gets throat or lung cancer..Difficult to enjoy Indian classical music with hearing aid, one looses all the minute inflections, vocal as well as instrumental. And at one time I prided myself as a very discerning listener.
A very famous singer, Alka Yagnik, also has lost her hearing (suddenly) at the age of 57. Such a tragedy for a singer.
That is the marriage photograph from 1989.
I'm not dismissing your problems with hearing/listening to music, but I'm looking at the "big picture"...
