I forget where I heard it but someone once told me about a solution that worked for them (may have been my teacher) that would work if the TV has an audio output. Basically how it works is you plug in an audio splitter like this and then you plug in speakers through one of them so others can hear and plug in wireless earbuds/headphones (like this) so that he can hear the TV. This may not be ideal if there are others who he might want to hear but if he lives alone or doesn't need exceptional hearing while watching TV I think it would work quite well. Not to mention it would be quite a bit cheaper than something like TV Dex (though I've heard those work pretty well).
docs pro plugs are what we used to give kids in the ENT office where I worked. You have to get sized so you know which one to use, but they work very well for showers/baths/swimming. They are cheaper than swim molds. Otherwise custom swim molds will be your best bet, and any audiologist can make them for you, if you’re only getting one, it should cost under $100.
You can buy these on Amazon and they work great for that purpose, without the dust that rice has.

I was having the same problem as you. I use these, but the life hack that really got them to work for me, is I cut the bottom off (like a cm) and just use that.
I have short ear canals I guess so I couldn't get any ear plugs deep enough to stay? And using the thicker end makes a better seal. I did tend to wake up without them in my ears any more, but I think I was pulling them out in my sleep. Once I got to sleep I didn't need them as much though, and my noise maker helps to muffle the noises and not distract me from sleeping.

Something like this? Anything else I could do to roughly estimate it in the meantime?
You might also want to look into etymotic ear plugs.. They offer about 20 dB of equal reduction across the spectrum. It feels just like you've turned down the volume. I don't go to concerts without them.
The Zephyr Dry & Store Hearing Aid Dryer uses both low heat and dessicant.
I have been using one for years with good results
Learn about speechreading a bit
I read a couple of methods. A lot weren't that good.
I liked the Harriet Kaplan, Scott J. Bally, Carol Garretson one. I think it was like $15 on amazon. It's not some amazing magical solution, but it was mildly helpful, at least to me.
Fair warning, people with foreign accents and men with unkempt facial hair are basically kryptonite

Restaurants are awful though, I can't hear anything in them. Do they have menus?
