I did some hearing tests over a couple years and my right side has some major frequency issues, but via bone conduction tests they determined that the eardrum works, it's just sound isn't getting there, so a hearing aid isn't likely to do much.
I was also looking at getting modern hearing aids for my mom at the time, so I hade some good discussions with the audiologist. The Biden administration opened up hearing aids for over the counter sales, but according to the audiologist, what you can get over the counter is equivalent to reading glasses, keyed to various levels. So it may be an improvement over no aid, but it won't be specifically tuned to your particular hearing.
