My hearing loss is profound enough that without hearing aids and sometimes even with them I have trouble following a conversation. OTC aids would not help at all. At some point you need high quality hearing aids adjusted by a good audiologist for the range of sound missing. Just making things louder still just sounds like wah wah wah wah. I find people who do not have hearing loss don’t really understand.
