@dwi Hearing aids really do not deal with accents except with how those who speak use different frequencies of sound to form words.. there are adjustments on hearing aids to work with the frequencies but since accents are usually a function of not hearing what you are used to.... it is the brain that also has to be trained ... hopefully the one speaking has to be reminded that you are hard of hearing and perhaps written conversation would be easier or if the accent speaker could speak slower... Depending upon your smart phone, you might record the voice or even use voice to text apps..
