What do you do when someone is in denial about their hearing loss?

Have had H Aids for 2 years. Very unhappy with them. Extraneous noise makes conversation extremely difficult. One on one is fine. Don't expect too much.

Welcome to Connect, @91retiree. I thought you might like to read this Mayo Clinic article:
– Hearing aids: How to choose the right one https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hearing-loss/in-depth/hearing-aids/art-20044116
Would you share a few more details about yourself? What type of hearing aid do you have? Have you consulted with an audiologist?

Does your hearing aid have a volume control? Mine certainly does.. .. or a setting for when you are in a crowd... My Starkey Bluetooth Rechargeable HA with a remote microphone (from the Veterans Administration ...so I did not pay for them when they were issued.... I do not know the price)... But with the remote microphone setting I can give the mic to my partner and she can clip that on to her top and talk ... even if she is in another room... and I can hear her above the others... ..but yes in crowds I often take my HA out ... shut them off... and sit closer.. All beneficial ..
