I had the opposite situation -- my hearing is great but my wife was having trouble hearing me and the TV. Unlike the typical resistant male (!), she proactively made an appointment at Costco to have her hearing tested and ended up getting hearing aids. Costco personnel were great and the price of a name brand pair could not be beat. She is very happy with the improvement in her hearing... and so am I now that she can hear me without my having to speak so loud! As an aside, I have been pleased with eyeglasses from Costco too.
