Don't give up

Not that you really sound like you're about to.

My hearing loss is greater than -20 dB at 8K. The result is I've worn hearing aids for nearly 13 years now. They may not have fully restored what I experienced prior to the loss but I can still enjoy music.

The key is to find a qualified audiologist, once concerned with your hearing correction rather than the price of the aids they might sell. Then choose among quality aids and avoid those $395 "specials". Lastly you must have patience for the adjustments necessary with a proper fitting - it is much more complicated that buying new prescription glasses.

Now I'm not patting myself on the back here but I will say my abilities to discern subtle component differences have amazed some friends in our local audio club. Not that I'm equal to others with "normal" hearing but much better than they would expect from anyone with hearing aids.

So good luck if you pursue that option.
