I think what you are looking for are IEM’s (in-ear monitors)
Here’s a link.
I have a pair of Etymotics, and do not need my HA’s at all with them.
Obviously, you can’t wear HA’s with these.
I use headphones daily for music, TV and computer audio. My high loss of high frequencies leads me to leave my hearing aids in use under the headphones. Aids = treble, headphones = bass.That’s the only way I can enjoy music and easily understand speech. I can’t live without my hearing aids with or without my headphones. I’m 84 and have had very successful cataract surgery, at this time I could more easily live without my glasses than my hearing aids. The eye surgery put my vision back equal to my eyes in my 30s, my hearing sucks @ 84.
Can’t get it, what you mean by amplifying sound, try looking something at primesound, they review different musical instruments, headsets etc.
If you don’t need portable and you want to use headphones without your hearing aids, you need a preamp with an equalizer to correct for your hearing curve, unless it is flat. Your audiogram is not posted. As someone said, volume is not the only thing going on.
Here is a really good one with a four channel equalizer. You can get more and less. Google away.

You can also get a simple USB powered digital amp with bass boost. A very popular one:
FiiO has a full range of headphone amps. All of these enhance the sound of earphones. You can also put on earphones over your HA’s and turn done the HA’s to stop feedback.

Thank you for the link to those portable headphone Amps. Do you know if they can be use as a headset also?
No, you can use them with any head phones.
I’m extremely happy with the Bose HeaRphones. Read about them here and elsewhere. One month trial with money back. I wear them most of the time now, in preference to my expensive ReSounds.
Thank you. Never know this exist.
Found another headset that amplify sounds.
Yes these are said to be quite good also. I’ve not tried them. Read some reviews of both and good luck!
Thank you. Just ordered the Bose Hearphones. Thank you so much for the tip.
Hi Alvin,
Another member suggested Bose Hearphones. I am going to try that. I also hear good thing about the https://www.nuheara.com/products/iqbuds-max/
I’m so glad you like them enough to give them a try! You might like to watch “Dr. Cliff’s” video review of the Hearphones on YouTube. If you can’t find it, let me know and I can link you. It’s very informative. He also has a review of the Qheara (?)
Dr. Cliff’s review of the Hearphones. Search his site for his long review of the Nuheara IQbuds.
Thank you for the youtube link. I think the Nuheara IQBuds reviewed by him is the older model. The new model is the Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX. It is only available directly from Nuheara. Maybe I will buy that next after using the Hearphones.
Fantastic!
Can you let me know how they work for you? I’m always looking for ways to bring good music back into my life. 
I also would be interested in a comparison between the two. I have the hearphones and had the 2 MAX pre-ordered but canceled before they shipped, kinda wishing I hadn’t canceled.
ok I will. Just got the hearphone today. and it is being charged right now. Definitely a great price for $290.
After a week of using it. I think I like it a lot.
It does boost the amplification so the sound coming in louder and clearer. It also amplify the surround sounds so that I can hear my wife high pitches voice without having to use the hearing aids. I like the fact that I can adjust the level of sound from the outside noise from complete silent to hearing people speaking. I tried the directional sounds but didn’t find it much useful. The bluetooth connection is strong and clear. I can only connect to 2 bluetooth devices such as my computer and my phone at any given time. People don’t have any issue hearing me on the call or voice chat.
There are several issues I have encountered while using it. When I was talking on my computer and if a notification coming via the phone then I lose the sounds from the computer for several seconds. I also don’t like the fact that I can’t hear my voice via bluetooth so it is sounding a little odd to get used to.
I think it worth it for less than $300. Maybe I try the Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX. However, I was told it is too new and would take at lest 8-10 weeks to arrive.

Thanks for sharing your review!
If they help you significantly, and cost less than 300 then they’re awesome
