Good hearing helps in dementia but…
Aids amplify everything including background sounds which can be a problem.
Mums brain makes errors. I cook her a meal and her brain tells her what it will taste like. A meal though delicious can be different to what she was expecting so she rejects it
Same with the hearing aids. Despite being forewarned her brain told her that it would take her hearing back to her forties ..
This didn’t happen so of course the hearing aids don’t work, more appointments are needed (not) etc
Often mum just can’t process the speech at the time
Fingers crossed
