I am in the same boat! One ear is worse than the other and consequently
I have lost directional hearing – rather embarrassing when you have to
ask people with you where the call is coming from! Do these aids help
that problem at all? Would appreciate your opinions.
There is an American device built for people with high end hearing loss
- some details below - does anybody know anything about it or had any
experience with it?

The SongFinder is an advanced digital device aimed at bird enthusiasts
who suffer from high frequency hearing loss and who are unable to hear
high-pitched bird songs in their natural surroundings. Unlike
conventional amplifying-type hearing aids, the Songfinder works by
lowering the frequency of high-pitched songs into a range where the user
has normal or near-normal hearing. This method avoids the many pitfalls
of extreme amplification. Furthermore, the SongFinder is a two-channel
"binaural" device that allows the user to determine the directions and
distances of singing birds. The SongFinder offers an elegant and
tasteful solution for aging birders and other nature lovers who can no
longer hear high singing birds.
