Getting hearing aids is more like getting braces, physical therapy, or a custom-tailored garment than buying a smart phone. Done properly, it's very labor intensive. For hearing aids, that includes real-ear measurements. Unfortunately, a poll published by Hearing Journal found that only 20% of audiologists consistently do real-ear measurements.
Thou shalt understand that it's harder to guess what you said when a hearing impaired person is tired. People begin to benefit from hearing aids when their thresholds exceed 30dB, especially at 2kHz. I found this video explanation of how to interpret a hearing test by Carrie Brollier at Saint Jospeh's University in Philadelphia.
Noise processing in hearing aids has improved dramatically in recent years. Still, it doesn't hurt to choose a quiet restaurant when you go out. Even people without hearing loss have an easier time communicating without competing noise. After all, going out is ultimately about socializing. Here is a list of restaurants that patients have recommended for their quiet environment, as well as their food.
