I don't know of any way to increase hearing clarity, which I believe is normally due to nerve damage and for aging, a "basilar dip". So I can't advise BUT may I suggest you start to notice clues around you and adjust your environment so you have better access to communication? First be aware of the light source: if it is directly behind the head of the person speak in to you, u will not see the conversation clues in their faces. Keep the light behind YOU. Second, learn how to use captions on TV. Every set has them ready to turn on in the menu and settings. Turn yours on and leave them on all the time. It takes some getting used to but once you do, you will find greater clarity especially if u wear hearing aids while watching.

See if these two tips can help. You do need to adjust to the loss and u do need to give yourself time for that. You've already noticed and claimed what's going on....good for you! There are some strategies that can make living with the loss, easier. But these two are basic. Give yourself time!
