I am 78 years old and my hearing has been steadily getting worse for the last 30 years. I can not hear any high frequency notes which eliminates me hearing most of what younger women say. If 2 people are talking at once I can hear neither of them. Not hear, I hear them but I can't understand them. This affects my social life greatly as it makes me avoid crowds and parties.
I purchased some expensive hearing aids online last year that had an option to return for a refund if desired. When I used them they sounded like a computer when anyone talked. Everybody sounded the same and I could not tell who was talking. They had telephone support which I tried to see if I was doing something wrong but the person I talked to had a heavy foreign accent which I could not understand and when I asked to speak to someone else, their accent was even worse.
In frustration, I returned them for a refund after only a few days. I am now wondering if I want to try someone local who I can talk to in person to help me with the hearing aids or if I have a condition that aids won't help.
