Whatever you are able to try, be sure that you are allowed a trial period that gives you time to try the technology in a variety of places. 30 days is not enough. 60 days is better, especially now when so many options are either limited or closed. Go to a theater, a performing arts center, a meeting of some kind, socialize in noisy places, etc. You will not know if a hearing device helps you unless you give it a chance in places and situations you usually frequent.

Some bone conduction devices like the Cochlear BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) require minor surgery, but I think they can be tested externally without the surgery.

It's hard to get started, isn't it?
