I am actually earnest in this question like maybe theres something I dont underdtand about hearing aids. like my limited knowledge would assume that the problems with owning them would be outweighed by the benefit of hearing.

the problem with hearing aids is that they amplify every sound, including the ones that our brains normally filter out. there's apparently something very difficult about filtering out sounds that are projected into your ear rather than existing in ambiance. the adjustment period is months long and can be extremely exhausting and overwhelming.
