I think this is incorrect.
I believe that when your hearing nerve cells start to go, they die and are gone for ever. This is the time hearing aids will help you. They stimulate those cells and keep your hearing stronger and living longer.
I suggest you go to a good seller of hearing aids. Any reputable seller of hearing aids will give you a test drive.
Even good hearing aids have a down side. You will hear a lot of background noise, glasses tinkling, people talking in the distance. just general noise. The first time I tried hearing aids, the annoyance of the noise was worse then the benefit of increased ability to hear what I wanted to hear. A couple of years later, I tried again and found it was time for me.
Anyway, you don't have to rely on the word of the audiologist. The only way to be sure it is time for hearing aids is to try them and see if your life is improved.
Finding the right hearing aid is trickier.
