[HAM] B3 question:

After many years of amplifiers blaring in my ears on the bandstand and working in a music store I have lost some highs in my hearing.  With that being said, I have a B3 and 2 122's and it seems like it is sounding more "bassy" to me.  With some drawbar combinations I hear the highs better but with the normal 888000000 with perc on, it sounds like it has lost some highs and also the 888800000 sounds the same.  I was wondering what wears out (1957 B3) that could cause the loss of highs (except my hearing).  Is that a candidate for recapping or tubes or both possibly?  It also sounds like my perc is not as pronounced as it was.  If I turn the percussion volume tab on "normal" it is pretty loud, but on soft, I think where most people use it, it sounds like it could be more "out there".  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  By the way, even if it was perfect, I would still sound like a guitar player trying to play a B3.
   
  Thanks, 
  Luther
