My 2 cents is that more expensive equipment wont address the issue. Hearing loss. IMHO I would start with something that allows adjustment of frequencies he might not be hearing which leads him to less enjoyment.
Lots of products that allow you to adjust the sound to his preference.
I have normal hearing and things are way more enjoyable with my BBE sonic maximizer. Its more than an eq and does other things. Imagine a group on stage with the lights out. The BBE is like turning on the lights.

Belari makes one and Schiit has the Loki IRRC which is just an eq.
Start there before jumping into expensive equipment.
Said another way, I recommend this even if you don't have hearing loss. I was a pure purist and would never dream of running the signal into another box. But now I just prefer better sound regardless of how I have to cheat.
