I would however get another opinion as I am not aware of a condition that would get worse if you don't get hearing aids!? May be you don't really need them. Try googling hearing aids. All info I've found states that using hearing aids does not slow progression of hearing loss. Good luck.
That statement bothered me too, that aids will prevent further loss. If anything, too high an amplification could cause hearing loss. I hope she/he hasn't already been misled. Also, all vendors have to give you a free trial, no questions asked if you want your money back. Florida law.
