I have hearing aids, you might mention they aren’t cheap. Mine were a little over $8K.
I’m 67 years old and hear just fine with my aids. When I go to visit my parents and they turn on the tv, I have to remove my aids. Mom’s 92 and has hearing aids but doesn’t usually wear them.
It's (re)programmable, to fit my loss profile. Seems to work real good. But everybody is different, even between left and right ear. I suspect my left is worse because that side is a little nearer to the muzzle of the M1 Rifle.
