Hearing aid correction bandwidth


I notice when listening to a frequency sweep recording that I really can't hear anything above 10khz.  I also have a sharp 10 dB divot in my hearing at about 3,900 hz. Tinnitus in one ear, too.
Watching a few dozen YouTubes, I find the hearing aid companies appear to only measure and correct your hearing hearing between 250hz and 8khz.
So is there any help to get that top octave back?

Human voice is somewhere up to 8Khz.

My hearing is diagnosed good up to 7Khz and RAGING tinnitus. I hear music detail just as good as I did 20 years ago. Actually, better now with a good turntable.

Everyone is different but, can you really not hear those upper notes in your favorite music? We don't listen to test records. I have a few of those test LP's. It definitely confirms my test results when a 8Khz tone is played.

That said, anything I listen to sounds the same(actually better) from 40+ years ago-to my ears.
