People who need hearing aids and don't have them can't comprehend how annoying it is to try to talk to them.
BTDT
Jerry Thing is, hearing aids aren't a magic cure-all. For example when my wife talks she has this habit that when she starts off her voice will be at a normal level, approximately 50db. Towards the end her voice gets very soft which makes it tough for me to hear her. She doesn't realize that she's doing it, tells me that no one else complains about it. But when she talks to someone on her phone I can hear the conversation from the opposite end of the house. Hearing aids amplify all sounds, like the TV, the washing machine running, grandkids playing with obnoxious sounding toys. They increased the level of high frequency sounds for me, I'm hearing stuff that I haven't heard in years. Some noises have a distinctive loud sharp crack to them which is kind of like the crack a bullet makes as it flys overhead. My wife seems to think that they ONLY amplify her voice... 🙄 🤣🤣🤣 Those sounds are all there for a person with normal hearing too, but the brain is used to dealing with it and can pick out the important stuff. If the hearing goes bad slowly and for a long time, the brain gets lazy and doesn't do that anymore. Once the aids bring things back near normal, it takes quite a while to get used to it again. Anyone who thinks they used to be able to converse easily in a noisy restaurant is delusional.  Jerry

I've never been able to understand the words of a song unless I read them. Hearing aids didn't fix that. Singing still comes through as just noise.

I have V.A. hearing aids. They say they are the best, which I doubt, but they help. I went to a gun club meeting last week & I forgot them & I sure missed their help, with the low talkers !!

I had that problem with my old Resound aids and could hear a song I'd heard 100's of times and not be able to recognize it. I don't have that problem with my new Philips hearing aids they have enough adjustments that can I enjoy listening to music again (but not in a vehicle, too much background noise).

I was having phone sex with a nasty skank one time and caught hearing aids. Oh, ha, ha. Really funny Paul. Why don't you go kill yourself.

I don't have that problem with my new Philips hearing aids they have enough adjustments that can I enjoy listening to music again (but not in a vehicle, too much background noise). The higher quality hearing aids will stream music using a Bluetooth connection. My only complaint is that they don't replicate bass tones very well. I wouldn't expect much due to the design though my Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro do a better job. If you increase the midrange sounds and tweak the treble a little voices will be a little clearer. And if someone finds hearing their voice through hearing aids disconcerting wait until they eat something crispy like potato chips. 🤭

I’ve worn hearing aids for over 20 years. I now have an Cochlear implant in my right year. The implant is really a game changer if hearing aids no longer work.
