I paid $7000 for Starkey, In The Canal, (ITC), hearing aids and have been using them for 3 years, generally satisfied with them; however, I still can’t understand conversations that aren’t directly facing me; therefore, I miss out on side conversations, which is frustrating.

@robertyu If your hearing loss is severe to profound ITC hearing aids just don’t offer the power you need. You might want to try BTE hearing aids. That along with a good audiologist and custom ear molds can do wonders for you.
Yes people will notice you are wearing hearing aids but you won’t miss as much that people are saying.
Good luck to you.
