'Hearing Aide Choice

Author: CaptForce

Searching past posts provides some information about the use of hearing aides, but I found nothing about my specific question. At 72 I've been wearing hearing aides for moderate loss for about ten years.
A few years ago I asked who was playing the accordion in one of the practice rooms and I was told that it was a clarinet quartet. Surprised by my mistake, I decided to stop wearing my aides while playing music because I didn't think that I was receiving true sounds. Conversely, by not wearing the hearing aides I'm missing some frequencies and the full spectrum of sound.
So, I can hear more with some distortion or hear less, but accurately. There's no perfect choice, but I'm curious about how others may have dealt with this choice. I'll be interested in your thoughts.
