I use hearing aids, and don't have any problems. So cannot make such a broad sweeping conclusion.
Best,

Just a note of interest.

A totally blind computer user who also has a profound hearing loss in both ears cannot simply jump over to any screen reader, as he or she may not find a suitable voice that he or she can hear well.

I encountered this problem when I purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 10, the screen reader update didn't have True Voice Peter that I've been using since 2004.

A blind hearing aid user will have difficulty with sound quality and speech clarity.
