I only met one person where aids and surgery provided no improvement.
I've had ear problems for 50 years, I go to a otorhinolaryngologist (ENT specialist!). He told me I would never be able to wear hearing aids, ever. If I stick anything in my ears, they get an infection, period.
People dont not get hearing aids for other reasons.

I deal with it, (also tinnitus), I dont have any problem telling others to deal with it also.
