DH won't wear his hearing aid

[RepeatingMyselfRepeatingMyself]

DH is hard of hearing. He has been given an NHS hearing aid. He refuses to wear it, partly out of vanity, because it is vaguely visible, but mainly because it amplifies all noises and he finds it uncomfortable/unpleasant.
This means that to have any sort of conversation with him involves lots of repeating myself, raising my voice to an uncomfortable level so it feels strained and often, even after all that, he misunderstands the key points which later comes back as feeling like I’m being gas lighted as he’ll claim i never told him xyz.
I have suggested he wear it for a week or two to see if he can get used to it, I’m sure his brain would learn to filter out some of the extraneous noise, but he doesn’t want to.

So am i BU in accepting he won’t wear it but giving up trying to talk to him, or should i just carry on as i am because he can’t help having hearing loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I did a two week trial privately and wasn't keen on them. Agree the amplified background noises are really bad. On the second week I was given the app to try with them and as soon as I stepped out the shop, I pressed noise filter and straightaway that horrid hum of traffic disappeared. I still found them difficult at home, for example watching a film with DD, I could hear her sweet wrappers rustling more than the film! Only really found them beneficial at work so didn't buy them for £3k! Going to try nhs ones as don't mind just wearing them for work only if I don't have to pay

@VanillaImpulse just be aware that part time wearing isn't easy. Your brain needs to relearn what sounds to pay attention to and what to ignore. If you keep chopping and changing that's going to be harder and take longer. It's better for your audiologist to adjust them so that new sounds are relatively quiet at first and for you to name them as you become aware of them. Then your brain has a chance to recognise them and put them in the 'pay no attention ' box.
