How Can Impaired Hearing Be Treated?

Despite numerous tests which resulted in wearing expensive hearing aids, my hearing remains distorted. A one to one dialogue in a quiet setting can be clear enough, but going to a concert or restaurant is impossible. The classics in music I ve known all my life I can no longer recognize. Piano music is now hash, as is video or radio. I do not have tinnitus, only distortion which worsens with amplification. Other than surgery, any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

How old are you? Are you on any drugs? Any trauma to head? Any ear infections? Possibly you may be suffering from sensoneural hearing loss it may be due to drugs or infections or age related or genetically mediated. Sensory neural hearing loss difficult to improve some people may need cochlear implants. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
