The four Eco modes can be of some help here, but the best in my experience is the default Comfort mode, which “reduces the harshness of high-frequency sounds and overall intensity, creating a more comfortable and balanced listening experience.” The Atom

I immediately noticed that the hiss level was much lower on the Atom By emitting low frequencies that didn’t need amplification, I found that I often heard worse sound with the hearing aids in than with them out – and this worsened the more I turned up the volume. At very low amplification levels (10 or 20 percent at most), the hearing aids were at their best for me. Anything beyond that threatens to become painful.
At $389, the Atom Yes, they’re much larger and more visible than the Atom
