Hi, audiologist here. “Close” is a relative term that all the tech companies are using to push over the counter hearing aids. It’s not adjusted frequency (pitch) specific so it’s going to bring everything up the same volume. Most hearing losses are worse in some pitches than others. So which it benefits people with mild losses it’s not really fixing the true issue.
