Educate me on hearing aides.

Beginning last year the FDA cleared hearing aides to be sold OTC. Sounds like a real money saver, but I know nothing about hearing aides. Do they need to be tuned to match your hearing loss? Are hearing aides only for severe hearing loss, or do they benefit moderate loss as well?

I'm pretty sure I've got some hearing loss. (Probably from too much AC/DC.) One reason, I feel like I'm talking really loud lately. Another reason is I took an online test and it indicates moderate loss.
