its more likely that those wearing hearing aides would remove them because of the high noise level

Went to Lighthouse Point Bar & Grille back in January. Loud would not describe the noise. The diners were bad enough, but when the music came on, and the staff did their 'Hand Jive?' thing, a cacophony of sound would best describe the racket. Even with my two hearing aids out it was awful.
Ate up, got out, and will never return.

I absolutely love your posts

Actually, HA's can be very helpful in those conditions.
My Starkey digital HA's have a noisy environment setting. Sitting with your back to the loudest noises allow the directional mics to do a great job in restaurants.

With new hearing aid technology I can hear better in a crowded room now, then my sweetie who doesn't need them.

There are MANY places here that have horrible acoustics and seem to magnify noise. I can think of two, right away; Glenview Restaurant, especially on the porch, and The Lighthouse.
