I know I'm repeating what others wrote but it can't be emphasized enough. I think you may have already been told something false, or maybe you misunderstood (it happens when you need hearing aids), but hearing aids will not prevent further hearing loss. Unfortunately, our hearing is going to get worse. Unless they meant you will be disadvantaged without bilateral aids and not have balanced, directional hearing. It is Florida law that you have a FREE trial period, not the graciousness of the hearing aid vendor. Although, I know they too want you to have the best possible hearing. Please get a good check up at an ENT and then try the audiologist assoiciated with The Villages Health Care. This whole deal can stress you out and make you nervous and feel like giving up. Don't.
They'll work with you and get you hearing the best you can. One thing you need to consider is how many bells and whistles do you want or need with your new hearing aids? Good luck!
