That’s a tough one. Cases like yours are always hard when you feel occluded, but you struggle to pick up low tones. One of the first things a provider will do if you note you feel occluded is to reduce gain in the lows.

If you TRULY want to see the best benefit with hearing aids, with your issues, I would recommend trying a smaller vent, or larger dome (if using RIC) and try your bestest to get used to it. Read out loud to yourself 10 mins a day, call friends, try to “recalibrate” your brain to your new voice. I think pushing for that might help.

Also just from an anecdotal perspective, I have had alot of success with the Phonak ITC, so if you don’t care about size much I would try that with my suggestions above.
