For sure I've got a hearing problem. Hardrock tunneling with percussion drills and lots of shooting ruined me years ago.
I don't doubt that hearing aids would help for normal face-to-face conversation in a one-on-one situation.
My question: are they going to be of any help in the special case of a gym or other high-ceiling room with lousy acoustics to start with?
Are they going to help in situations with a lot of background noise, such as a crowded hall, gunshow, etc.?
Thanks
