Imongo is on a distinguished road
My flight instructor started me with DC's and then lent me his Bose after I asked if they were worth the 1K. I ordered Bose the minute we landed. I know they are overpriced (they are really probably worth 500-700) because they say "Bose" on them. But they are VERY comfortable. I have started to get out of the plane with them on because I forget they are there. Turn on the ANR and you will think you are in a luxury car instead of a 172. My only fear for you is if you are already hard of hearing, I would be concerned you could not hear some things you need to, such as the stall horn. If you can find someone who will lend you a few different types, that would be the best. Go flying for an hour with the different types and see. Make sure you stall once so you can see if you can hear the warning.
