I would like to hear from people that have hearing aids ????.?

Ok, let's try. When we hear speech, different sounds occur at different frequencies, some are high pitched, others are low. The high pitched sounds are generally the consonants that make up the majority of speech sounds. Others such as vowels tend to be low pitched. When we start to lose hearing the usually tendency is for the high pitched sounds to go first, so speech becomes unclear, hence the need for clarity, so there is an element of truth in what your husband says.

Please don't ask me why this happens I'm just a layman.

When someone has a hearing loss it is a common complaint that they hear, but don't understand. This is because background noise, out on the street with trafficc, or in bars and restaurants is generally at low frequencies, so this is still heard, but because of the hearing loss, the highfrequenciess ofconsonantss, that give understanding to what is heard are drowned out by the low frequencies.

Get your husband to see anaudiologistt and have hearing tests. The audiologist will give you a far better explanation than I can, but generally this is the explanation I got.
