Congratulations on the kid!
I know of this. It's not the prettiest but it gets the job
done. It lights up with brightness based off noise level.

I could also suggest a video monitor as well to be able to see inside the room as that might be helpful too.

These are what I use because I seriously can not afford actual hearing aids. They are better than nothing but I am saving up for the real deal. What I like about these is there is an app where you can do a simple hearing test type thing that programs them for you. Again they aren't hearing aids but they are better than nothing. My biggest complaint is the feedback and random whistles.
HoH here.
Worst thing that someone has said? "Nevermind" when you ask them to repeat what they said.
What makes me feel uncomfortable? Lack of access really (I'm looking at you movie theatres with broken captioning and staff that do nothing to fix it). That and inspiration porn videos (deaf kid with cochlear implants "hearing for the first time". We are not circus freaks, here to give people a feel good moment.
What makes me feel uncomfortable? People that thinking that I must wear my hearing aids. I wear my hearing aids for hearing people, not for me.
What apps or devices help? My hearing aids help, but the fatigue is real. They do not give me 100 percent hearing, only more volume - not increased clarity. I still have issues with comprehension. I just ordered one of these on the recommendation of a Deaf friend https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010HWCEFY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Alarms/notifications? I have a smart watch that vibrates when I get a text or notification (I can select which phone apps notify me via my watch). For an alarm clock, Sonic Boom bed shaker is the best that I have seen.
When someone uses gestures? It doesn't offend me, since I grew up with this. My dad is deaf and lip reads, so we have always used our hands to communicate. If they are over the top/treat me like an idiot, then they are going to get backlash.
In a relationship, you figure out what works for you. My husband (for the most part) knows that he has to have my attention and to be facing me for me to understand. I will ask him to repeat stuff, or ask for clarification if what I understood does not make sense/fit the context of the conversation.
Assuming you're using Windows, here's how to set your audio to mono, so left and right channels will be combined.
If you'd like a hardware solution, one of these will do it for you as well.
This is a real tragedy. But man, dont blame yourself. Carry on. Tell people about hearing loss and countermeasures. There are lot's of celebs with hearing loss problems...

SO don't panic, your life is not ruined. Educate others. Tell them that they should avoid noise exposure or protect their hearing.
For example when you attend loud concerts you should use earplugs with audio filters. And you should consider Frequency reduction values table. I made a research on this theme not so long ago. Here is the table for ~$20-30 earplugs for concerts:
|Vendor Average reduction Value|125 HZ|250 HZ|500 HZ|1000HZ|2000HZ|4000HZ|8000HZ|

They market it as the βbaby cry signalerβ but itβs adjustable to what it picks up by a dial on the bottom.
