Hearing aids in but still not understanding words

I have the same hearing aids and the same issues. The VA audiologists have adjusted them multiple times and they sound good until they don't. I have molded ear pieces and I just learned that I can run a stiff piece of floss through the vent and out the other side to clean any wax build up. That and changing the filter often helps. Like you I cannot find suitable adjustments in the program options that make much difference. One last thing. They work great when I can blue tooth TV, car GPS, etc. Wish I could hear like that with normal speech.

I have wondered many times why we can’t hear normal speech like we hear Bluetooth through our hearing aids. It comes through so clearly.
Floss and changing the wax guards does help but nothing replaces our original hearing.
