The recording equipment that most of us use exceed the capability of
your hearing aids. They may have come a long ways in recent years
but they have size constrants we do not and care about different
things than we do.
As Dan suggested headphones may be the way to go.
Not all hearing loss is created equal. There is loss of volume and
complete loss of certain freqs. The later takes pitch shifting to
compensate for and may not be best addressed here. If what you have
is a loss of volume over the complete range you need a good map of it
so that you can program to match. Either by a headphone amp with
equalizer to balance the right freqs at the right amount or just by
having a filter in post to make your listening pleasure greater.
But the standard hearing tests fall way short of what you need as
they don't care about loss above 7000 or below 1,000 cycles and you
want to know your map from 100 to 12,000 if you want to cover birds.=20
This group is not the place to ask how to get the best map of your
hearing but once you have it you can apply the correct compensation
by a equalizer.

And for you the mic with headphones may be far better than the bird
heard.
