I always felt left out in my teen years. I didn’t get hearing aids until I went off to college and even then I felt frustrated not being able to join in the fun in group settings. Now that I’m 45 it isn’t nearly as bad I just avoid those settings if I can and I’m not as shy about speaking up if I don’t understand something.
