But, I can't hear worth a crap anymore anyway, so what's the difference?

A lot of us can relate to having stacks of albums in a closet or chest somewhere. I know I do. One of these days I might get me a cheap turntable also. And a lot of us can also relate to not hearing very well anymore. I remember a many a small/medium/large concerts where my goal was to get as close to a large speaker (sometimes I could actually touch them I was so close) as i could. That was about 35-40 yrs ago and I am not sure hearing is ever the same after those kinds of escapades. It was a lot of fun though.
