After a hearing test the tester told me I must be lipreading. 
I would like to learn to do that officially, and will look for such classes.
It's an odd thing. I can hear. Sometimes I can hear noises that my husband can't hear. High tones are harder. It's difficult to make out what my little grandson is saying sometimes. I often can't understand what is being said by others, either. DVDs and TV are a disaster, but I do have a TV earphone thing that helps a lot. I wear the behind the ear aids, and am able to get by quite well except in a crowd. I've been told that the newest ones are much improved, but they are, at the least, $1100 apiece, so I can't be buying new ones every couple of years. Our insurance only covers a pittance.
I'm happy to find this forum. Gathering info from others is always helpful.
