As a person with a hearing impairment, I can unfortunately confirm that they're not all simply solved with hearing aids. OP has big "this liar walked from the handicap spot" energy.
Also they’re far more expensive than glasses. In college mine broke and I could barely afford food so I went without until I could afford to fix them a few years later.
There’s also the fact that at times they’re exhausting to wear and people get pissed if you have to take them out or turn them off.
Hearing aids aren’t like normal glasses where they just fix the problem no issue. I love my local librarians for just writing stuff down when I say I can’t hear. It’s quick and convenient.
