I have a substancial loss also. My hearing aids are a bother while playing. The problem I have is hearing the director call playbook numbers during a gig or give instructions during rehearsal. Bone induction allows me to hear myself just fine, and I'm not so deaf that I can hear others around me. I suppose if the loss progresses to a point where there is virtually no hearing, ala Beethoven, then I'd have to consider not playing, but as it is, I can deal with it.
