I think you may have a Williams Pocketalker? Great accessory.
Pocketalker: You can move the microphone closer to someone and pickup their voice. all pitches are amplified - no customization for your hearing loss (eg customized pitches for a high-frequency loss)
Hearing aids: You can also move closer to someone (eg getting the microphones in your hearing aids closer to the person). Or you can change programs, such as noisy environment or forward focus. Hearing aids are customized for your hearing loss (adjusted for high-frequecy loss).
Depending on your hearing aids, you can also buy an external remote microphone accessory that can clip on the person who is speaking to you. That helps to capture the sound.
