2. My audiologist says: The sooner (younger) you start wearing hearing aids

The better the chance to make new neural connections to arrest the decline for some time, and maybe even improve it some (but, you would still need the hearing aids)

Started wearing aids 4 years ago at age 49. Within a year, hearing in my left ear improved some and has remained stable soince then.

Up to you, but you may want to consider getting aids. :hi:
{My hearing loss has been gradual and is heredity in nature)
