Did you manage to get help? I have this problem and I'm very frustrated with my current hearing aids, it's group conversations, TV and certain people's speech that are so challenging and disabling especially for group conversations. I miss so much.

I have had progressive hearing loss for close to 40 years and have learned various "coping" strategies that help. Microsoft has a service called Live Transcribe. When this apps is running, it will transcribe reasonably well. Good for difficult to hear situations like in a group, Skype/Zoom, a soft spoken person, etc.
There is also now a cell phone captioning service that's free - InnoCaption. I have found this to be exceptionally good.
I also announce to people I meet for the first time in a group that I have hearing loss and may miss things they say. Everyone appreciates this and responds accordingly.
There are also very good websites for support. Hearing Tracker is an international one for HA and CI users to share experience.
Stay informed and get creative.
Good luck
