T-coil issues

When I got my latest hearing aids I insisted on T Coil though the audiologist seemed to think that not necessary . Since then I’ve found no venue where they can be used . Most theaters don’t have the coil even the newest ones . I did experience the difference and was able to appreciate the beautiful sound when I attended mass at an out of town church only one time .
With the purchase of the hearing aids I was given a wi fi device which is connected to my TV . This device allows me to hear amazingly good and on occasion I enjoy a wonderful musical experience.
Talking of hearing aids I must comment at how disappointing I believe that industry is . The hearing aids I wear today are no different than those I had 25 years ago except for an upgraded chip and higher cost while still no improvement in clarity and the inability to hear in a social setting . In the past two days I see Meta along with Ray Ban have developed eye glasses on which it’s possible to have a conversation, take photos and many more features .
It looks like the industry needs to do some further research or we may be hearing thru one eyes and not our ears .

@lou1130 Hearing loss is an invisible disability. This is why people with a visible disability receive so much aid. When I moved into a new neighborhood I explained I had a hearing loss . Some of the neighbors thought I was stupid. I never spoke to them again. Hermine Willey
