Hearing aids are limited in what they can do and will be limited in the near future. Hearing aids never restore full hearing let alone actually improve your hearing.
Hearing aids operate only on the outer ear and are basically just amplifiers with some smartness built in (trying to cut out background noise, amplify foreground etc). So they're really limited in what they can achieve.
The two greatest hopes for the hard of hearing are 1. Cochlear Implants 2. Flawless speech to text translation. You want to be working on either of those two.
- adamsaleh 14y agoI have heard from a guy with same hard-of-hearing problem and he was quite against implants ... his impression was that they are practically impossible to upgrade, and they replace whatever ability of hearing you might have left. Conversation has happened 3 years ago, so maybe things have changed for the better. (Another of his concerns was, that he felt pressured by his MD to get an implant)
