My first set of hearing aids was 3 grand from the hearing specialist and lost one and it would have been 5 grand to replace and upgrade them. I can't afford it I don't have insurance that will cover the cost.
In the States you don't need a prescription anymore and so bought a set by mail and trying to get the volume set for each ear Ibut think I need to get used to hearing and adjust them a little at a time.

You really need to have a hearing test to adjust the frequences on the hearing aid that suites you.
You may be missing the soft sounds like the letter C or S.
My daughter uses the letter B to test her hearing aid because it is a strong letter.
I sometimes use the CC on the TV. I used to use a good pair of headphones as well.
Now I just turn up the volume on the tv and hearing aids and seems better.
BTW everyone starts losing their hearing from the day you're born.
That's what the Techs told us at Sick Kids Hospital when they were testing our daughter.
You ever noticed when you come out of a noisy environment like work that you have to turn the music up in the car?
That's because the tiny hairs in the cochlear have laid down due to the noise. They usually stand back up but the older you get they don't.
