In my experience with a family member, the fitting and tuning done by the audiologist is as good as a random guess. Constant noise and screeching even after multiple, expensive tuning sessions. As a result the hearing aids get tossed away unused most of the time.
The adjustment offered by something like the AirPods Pro seem much more effective.
Most of my rejected fittings were from people who had far too high expectations.
that did not stop me from trying, and when unable to get success provide a 100% refund, and refer to a different AUD.
