@yesindeed Hi, and welcome to Connect.
I am happy that you have been able to find something that helps you, with the bonus that it's reasonably affordable. I have fairly expensive HAs because I have a more severe loss. It's considered to be profound in one ear for high frequencies, and severe in the other ear for high frequencies. Words with the S sound in them basically come in that range so it makes understanding a lot of speech difficult. The aids I have were supposed to be the best for clarity when I got them, about 2.5 years ago.
I believe my hearing took a dive also, either from health problems or medications because although I already had a hearing disability it got significantly worse.
