One serious item seems missing - tinnitus. I have excellent hearing with the normal range. After 2K hz it drops off. I got hearing aids in order to help with tinnitus and sometimes it does help. Still, one cannot ignore the constant buzzing of tinnitus.

I find that as one ages, hearing properly becomes far more important as when an older person responds inappropriately as a result of hearing poorly, even other older people immediately assume dementia, not hearing difficulty.
BTW Costco offers excellent hearing services, including testing, at about a fourth the cost of Beltone & etc. And their staff do not operate on commission, so you can trust their recommendations.
