Hearing aids will not make other people annuciate more clearly, speak more slowly, nor project their voice better. If you can hear most words of most people I think that's good hearing.
If you frequently cannot hear various kinds of people when there is no background noise and you are facing them and still can't hear that may tell you something.
I cannot hear others speech well when there is background noise. I tried two different best brands for $8,000 and they didn't help me with that main problem and still missed others speech due to their speaking issues, not my hearing.
My millennial kids sometimes even ask, "what did he say?" while watching TV.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
