My father is an 88 year old audiophile who has suffered some moderate hearing loss. He no longer enjoys his big Naim/ Pro Ac system. Two years ago I bought him a Schiit Modi/Magni system and hooked it up to a nice Project cd transport. He enjoyed listening to cds on it until recently. He has always used dynamic headphones, specifically Grado and Sennheiser. Two decades ago he had a Stax system.

My question is this; would trying some different types of headphones possibly help him?Perhaps some IEMs or planar magnetic? Maybe go all the way and dish out the cash for a new Stax system. The headphone world is still new to me. Anyone's relevant experience would be appreciated. I know nothing about audiology.
