hearing aids

I've just started wearing my hearing aids while I play my clarinet, both with rehearsals and while practicing. I've found I can no longer hear the conductor without them, so it's become a necessity to play with them. Besides sounding a whole lot louder while practicing by myself, the sound is quite different than it is without the hearing aids in. There seems to be several "other" sounds I'm hearing as well as the note I'm playing. I'm not quite sure what to think. By "other sounds," I think they could best be described as undertones as well as overtones. I don't hear only the note I'm playing. Do those of you who wear hearing aids while playing experience this as well? Should I use a different setting on my aids (I think there are 4 options)? Should I just ignore the other tones? Thanks for any comments you care to share.
