I don't know precisely what kind of hearing damage you have to warrant hearing aids, however the mellow sound w/o them is probably predominately coming through your skull and then with them on - well that's more like the air, but unfortunately with distortion.

Indeed, you should find someone you trust with some real patience to help you select reeds. This is true for people with healthy hearing selecting mouthpieces or instruments but is even more true for you. I'd work with someone enough to get a good idea of what a reed should sound like to you. You should still be able to sense a reed attack cleanly. If it attacks cleanly and easily, it is usually clear in tone too.
