Hello, my name is Blue. I am also severely hearing loss. We have developed hearing aids, but we are currently only sold in Taiwan. Other countries will start selling them this year(FDA approved).

Out of curiosity, what made you target Taiwan first? Was it a geographical reason, or was it because of regulatory reasons?

  Odd that your curiosity wouldn't just take you to the website they linked which would have told you the answer.

Hypothetically could one go to Taiwan and buy a pair while on vacation? Asking for a friend…

  You could probably find a company or a person in Taiwan to ship them to you from Taiwan.

    Looking at their website though there's a lot of showing up at their retail location to do hearing tests, so that might not work quite as well.

It would be good to work with musicians on having ways to adjust hearing aids for better-sounding music, both recorded and live. Most hearing aid vendors and audiologists don't seem to make much of an effort on this, so I usually switch to Airpods for better sound.
