Basically, I’m semi-deaf, constant ringing in the ears, so pretty much anything and everything I use would be considered mid-range, but I want to get into the more technical side of audiophile equipment, but I have zero clue how, or what brands are considered a safe bet for a noob.
Depending on what semi deaf means I would look into what you actually like to listen to. You might need some speakers with a “shrill” top end or at least a pronounced top end, depending on your hearing damage. And probably also a lot of bass so a subwoofer is probably also good for you.
