Does FM listening devices work better than hearing aids?

Tracy T asked:


I am hard of hearing and I wear hearing aids however in class last semester, I still had a very hard time hearing. The office of disability support on my campus offered a FM listening device. Will that work better? If so, what is the purpose of spending thousands of dollars on hearing aids (besides convenience) when you can get a listening device for so cheap? I have made appointments to get my hearing evaluated and my hearing aids checked.

How do I improve my severe/profound sensorineural hearing loss naturally without hearing aids?

Abstinence_Education asked:


Has anyone been able to improve their sensorineural hearing loss naturally? I want to hear better without(and with) hearing aids, especially in the high frequencies. What kinds of herbs or medicines can do this? Also what kind of hearing exercises should I do?

What do girls or people think of guys wearing hearing aids?

Gurt asked:


Ok, so say you saw an attractive guy and he wears hearing aids.. what would you think of him wearing hearing aids? Think of hearing aids as nothing, just like people who wear glasses? And yes I do wear hearing aids.. :(
People say im attractive and nice too.
