Hearing aid advice

I went to an ENT for testing and they diagnosed classic hearing loss. Sent me home with the paperwork for L & I application and I ignored it. After about a month they called and harassed me into filling out the paperwork and I took it back to the ENT. After a couple months I got notice from L & I that I was eligible for no cost to me hearing aids and told to me pick my vendor and get them.
I called around and picked a hearing aid center and got fitted, free hearing aids and repair and batteries free for life-who knew-----------------Total surprise to me------------------
I have to wear them anytime I want to hear conversation or television. I am missing all the middle frequencies that allow us to determine speech.
