ellen307, you may want to consider a personal amplifier as a backup device. You'll have to use it with headphones or earbuds but they work really well. A couple of products that come to mind is Williams Sound Pocketalker 2.0 and the Comfort Duett. You can find them on Amazon, eBay, or here https://www.harc.com/collections/personal-amplifiers

Hi Ellen...…. it's a bad time to have problems with hearing aids (actually is there a good time?). Neither of my aids are working but the clinic I go to is temporarily closed because of Covid 19. I am considering going to Costco for an evaluation because I have read such good things about Costco on this site. Not sure what to do since I have already spent $5800 for the aids I have. It seems like just one expense after another once you need hearing aids.

With everyone wearing masks now and staying six feet apart, I am missing out on almost all conversation. It is very isolating. I realize I am just venting here not offering you any real ideas except maybe Costco. Maybe they do free evaluations. Judy
