I am beyond help----I have very good hearing on the left and zero on the right---which a hearing aid can't help.
My wife has poor hearing and multiple sets of hearing aids which she does not use---she says they hurt her ears. So it makes for some damn odd conversations around here!
The lesson in that---make sure they are comfortable and fitted to your ears or they will end up being "drawer aids".
