Your local Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) which is free to join would know if what you are seeking exists in your area. I know of nothing like you seek in the otherwise medically well served area that I live in.
Your symptoms are typical of the aging hearing loss I also suffer from and although by no means perfect Hearing Aids can be life changing. So please don’t dismiss them out of hand and there are audiologists that are not “money grabbing”. Mine suggested I might want to wait to treat my then minor loss and although with good insurance I went ahead and got them I rarely wore them when in retrospect I probably should have.

Back more to the topic but I am not sure if this kind of therapy is what you have in mind my sister in England had lip reading instruction which she found very helpful but I have not seen even that offered here in my area at least.
Best wishes in your search. If you find anything report back here as it might help others.

My hearing deficiency has always been there, not related to age or guns. The therapy programs I saw were,as I recall, on YouTube, which isn't always the best source. But they had very positive measurable results so I'll see if I can find them again. One was done by a research group through Mayo, that why I went to Mayo for my hearing test. I've seen a number of doctors at Mayo for different reasons and think they are great but I don't necessarily agree with all of them.
