I have two brothers-in-law that started using them around the same time, and I had no idea that they had issues, while I'd been joking for years about how my hearing is shot because I can't pick up the words over background noise or when the speaker is in another room.
(Turns out they have been having problem across the room, which [knocks on wood] I'm still ok with, despite years of loud music I'd subjected myself to)
I talked to them about their hearing aids and apparently they've made some improvements because the standard line I used to hear about them was that they amplified the noise with the signal and so they never quite helped much, but these new ones apparently do a much better job separating the signal from the noise.
I'll put off getting my hearing tested as long as I possibly can. Yeah. I am that guy. :)
