I'm sorry I know it's hard not to be able to join in when you can't make
out what people are saying.
And some people think screaming at you works..
Yikes..
It's going to take an ear specialist to say what will work for you.
I know the bone conduction bypasses the ear drum and canal
But don't know if it requires the ear hairs to be in adequate condition.
It works with my smartphone.
So it'll be weeks before I talk to my ENT.
I'll let you know what he tells me.

I’ve seen so many “ear specialists” I’ve given up on them. Audiologists as well have proved completely worthless for me. I suppose there are some good ones. I just haven’t found any (and not for lack of trying)
I have spent thousands on state of the art traditional hearing aids, so spending a few hundred to try bone conductive ones doesn’t seem like an outrageous thing to try.
Anyway, if you have luck it would be good to hear.
Thanks.
