I can relate. I have a high frequency deafness. I wear my hearing aids when I go out and to work, but at home I take them off. I like the quiet. My new aids amplify all the sounds that I didn't hear so I can hear them now. My thought is that is good for interacting with the hearing world but when I am home and not in that world, take them off, let my ears breathe again. You do need time to adapt, that is to get used to the new hearing aids. My good audiologist said some aids are just too powerful, and that can create a problem too when you are not used to hearing all that rackus. Getting the aid that works for you requires an audiologist who understands so that it is not so overwhelming. Not all do, some are just geared up to make a sale.
