Hearing loss is to be expected as we get older. This happened to me and was expected. But down the years I always experienced additional hearing loss after a viral infection. Once lost, ones' hearing stays lost!
I did try a few pairs of in-ear hearing aids but improvements, if any, were very marginal. And not worth the considerable expense of the devices. My last viral infection, not Covid-19, was back in January.
In my case, the principal losses are understanding or making out what men who tend to mumble or women say. This is worse if there is a low frequency sound in the room. For example, in the car, or if an extractor fan is running.
It is not easy and it is not getting any better.

Been doing it for years. Permanent damage. I wear the aids of joy in both ears, have done for around a year. Sucks.
Use protection kids, you don't want to catch anything. Deafness in particular.
