I have been wearing hearing aids for about 20 years now. They help but are not like the original hearing. Reminds me of a joke.
Two old men were playing golf and one said, "it sure is windy today."
The other thought for a moment and said, "no .. today is Thursday."
The first replied, "yeah, I'm thirsty too. Let's stop at the club house and get a beer."
That is pretty much the way it is when you are hard of hearing.
