She was also impressed how powerful my HAs are. This got me thinking that many people don't have the right HAs, can't afford better HAs or don't have them programed enough for their hearing loss.

If this is the case, it's the fault of the audi -- not the hearing aid user since most people who wear hearing aids don't know the first thing about which models are appropriate for a given loss. They also don't understand the technicalities of adjusting hearing aids for certain frequencies, etc.

Like faire_jour, I'd also be curious to know what your aided speech discrimination score was.
