Loss of hearing clarity: Solutions or strategies anyone?

Hi J.K., First thank you so much for mentioning my book "Living Better With Hearing Loss." I updated and rewrote that book last fall and it was published in October under the title SMART HEARING: Strategies, Skills and Resources for Living Better with Hearing Loss." It's available on Amazon in paperback or as an ebook.
I can't really answer your question except to say that I too recently got an Oticon Opn and am hearing much more clearly than I was with my old hearing aids. My hearing is bad enough that I qualify for a cochlear implant but the Oticon has allowed me to delay that for a few more years. I love the clip-on mic and use it in Pilates and yoga classes and lectures and even in noisy places. Many people have remarked on how much better I seem to be hearing. It was expensive $$$$$ but worth it.
Some many interesting responses here to your question!

@katherinebouton I did purchase the ebook but have not had much chance to read it yet.
I use the Connect Clip in some of my water aerobics classes! One of the leaders is young with a high voice, my most difficult frequencies, and she leads from the side of the pool, not in the water. I wear my HAs in the water, my ears never come close to submersion. I am disappointed with it in restaurants though, the background noise gets amplified too.
Thanks for writing a helpful book, there is a need for this.

Katherine: I will definitely read your book! Does the book address tinnitus at all? On a scale of 1-10 I would say I am at an 8 with the ringing. There is a book out there that deals with tinnitus written by a Laurie Cole...it is quite helpful. Thanks.
