Ken / Julie what helps when you are a passenger in a vehicle. I have profound hearing loss, my left ear is pretty much deaf so I listen with the 20% in my right ear. My audiologist has suggested the cross over hearing aids and was thinking of giving them a try but at $3,000 an aid I have held off until just recently thinking of them again. I like the microphone portion of the Starkey aid that could help in a vehicle.?

I lipread by having the passenger pull down the mirror and glance toward lips in that mirror Rather than turning my head way over to hear or see them

Do your current hearing aids have telecoils? If so, you might want to try a William's Sound Pocket Talker. That works great in most settings with background noise, and is inexpensive compared to buying a new hearing aid. It does involve a cord though. Hearing aids that have hand held microphone capability work great and are wireless. Let us know what you try.
