I have an 82-year-old client who uses something called Bose Hear that is made by the famous speaker company, it runs about $500. you can operate it off an app on your iPhone. I don't know if you can just operate it manually or set the various options manually. You can also buy a wireless Bluetooth headset so that only you hear what is being amplified. I don't know what the differences between the two different types of aids. He also likes that the thing that goes into your ears like a little earbud and that the thing is rechargeable through a plug to plug in the wall. it's something to look into that's a cost-effective Aid. he loves his. He can hear every word in a lecture or meeting now and he can even hear things he should not be able to here in a room next to him. I don't know why he didn't like his original hearing aids that came through a hearing specialist but he does like this new set up. He also has no intention of using it or wearing it all the time.
