@staciej Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Your husband has "middle range" hearing loss. Due to this, when he has his hearing aids in all sounds except the "middle range" sounds are uncomfortably amplified. This makes wearing his hearing aids extremely painful and he only wears his hearing aids on "special occasions." Certainly this is difficult and you would like to be able to converse with your husband on a day-to-day basis.

You will notice that I have added your question to the Hearing Loss group, along with the ENT group. I did this so you could you connect with members like @julieo4 @ken82 @imallears @katherinebouton @smbritt, in the Hearing Loss group, along with members like, @nrd1 @ellienewfan in the ENT group.

May I ask what the vendor of the hearing aids has said about his hearing aids uncomfortable amplification of high and low sounds?

Thank you, Erica! Appreciate the responses. He purchased the hearing aids and has suffered since without getting the vendor or the provider involved. We'll be starting from square one again. I really worry about the volume levels he uses when watching television. Closed caption helps a lot there 🙂 I'll need to start doing more research - but glad for the direction the forum provided. Kind regards, Stacie Johnson

I also have the mid-range loss and have never had satisfactory correction. My source of care is the UC San Francisco Audiology clinic and I am fortunate to be able to afford the most sophisticated hearing aids. Each time I get new ones, every 3-5 years, there is some improvement, but not enough to hear my husband or TV well. I'm so frustrated. But it's time for an update.

Does anyone have any better experience with this type of hearing loss?
