@heria The only way to find out is to get tested by an audiologist. Get a copy of your audiogram, and shop around for a hearing aid that helps you. The audiologist who tests you will likely have hearing aids they recommend. Try one.

Just be sure to try it in as many places as possible during the trial period they offer you. Do what you usually do so you can see if the hearing aids help. Go to meetings, restaurants, theaters, etc. if those are activities you want to enjoy.

If you are not satisfied with hearing aids you try, take them back. Depending on policy, the seller may let you try something different and extend the trial period. Just be aware of the timeline of the trial period so you don't miss the deadline. Ask about it because it's probably in the fine print of your purchase agreement. Most providers offer 30 - 45 days for trial. Costco offers 6 months.

Everyone's hearing loss is different, so there is no 'one size fits all'. The best thing to do is 'get started'. Once you get a pair of well fit hearing aids you'll wonder why you waited.

Are you ready to move forward?

See if you can test two different sets of hearing aids at the same time.

Also search YouTube for the doctor whose name escapes me who has excellent videos on how to evaluate the different hearing aids,

Search YouTube.com for Dr. Cliff videos.
