Deafness and Hearing Aids.

A cautionary tale about deafness and Hearing Aids. What to do?
A week ago, I threw away the USB containing my favourite styles. I did this because my musician friend told me that he ALWAYS keeps his hearing aids on when he played his keyboard.
Now I have to find lots of new styles which sound good when I wear my hearing aids. I am finding it quite a challenge.
I wish I had not been so hasty throwing away that USB as it has just occured to me that, maybe , playing songs using my old collection of styles might have sounded good to SOME of my audience.
{Scatter gun approach} . I wonder what elderly members of bands or orchestras do when they start to lose their hearing. Do they start wearing hearing aids when playing in concerts with their band?
And, how long does it take to retrain the brain?
