If your hearing loss is in both ears, then wearing two hearing aids is the best way to hear the most naturally. Wearing only one can make it challenging to follow conversations and to know which direction the sound is coming from.
We suggest that you wear them most of the time, especially once you are first fitted with them to get used to them as quickly as possible.
No it will not make your hearing worse, it will just help with your current loss.
Face masks do provide another challenge for wearing hearing aids, if you wear a RIC or BTE you just need to be careful when removing your mask to ensure they stay in place.
