When I'm at a restaurant by myself I can reduce background noise and muffle it somewhat, so it sounds more like thrumming than specific sounds. If I'm with someone, I can turn them into omni-directionals, so that anyone sitting directly in front of me is heard clearly, while everything else is dulled and reduced. There are a bunch of little tricks I've learned to do with my hearing aids, including - "listening differently." That's a pretty awesome trick. My golf cart is super noisy but when I have my devices in my ears, I can "tune my listening" to somewhat dull the sound of the engine. It means the sound of the turn signal and reverse beep are very sharp and intrusive, and - get this - I can also hear the turn signal of the cart behind me if they're close enough.

You won't get this kind of functionality with over-the-counter devices.
