Does hearing loss research & development understand what we need?

@mickey5909, I did use my old aids when these had to go out for repair. My hearing loss is severe to profound so I need custom molds to get the needed power. It's harder to get decent loaners when a custom mold is needed. The hardest part to deal with was the lack of streaming from my phone with my old aids. My current aids stream whereas my older ones do not. I went back to my old self when wearing my old aids. I cringed when the phone rang since it was so hard to hear on the phone.

I am right there with you. My new aids are the same with streaming. I also have severe to profound loss and cannot hear much of anything without my hearing aids. That's why I kept the old ones so I at least was able to hear something, but it definitely was not the same. I missed the streaming in my hearing aids and struggled a lot with my zoom meetings for work without my new ones.
