How does hearing loss change you?

Hearing loss has increased my isolation and depression. I’m still fretting (in the wee hours) over being out last night for dinner w 8 family members. Not being able to understand most of what was said in the noisy calliope of sounds got to me more than usual. No one except those of us with hearing loss understand... we can’t process more than one sound at a time. I’m tired of being assaulted with an arcade of sounds.

@judysmayo @joangela Restaurants really are frustrating, sometimes even when I am just with one other person. Being at home or visiting with a group of people is just as frustrating. I enjoy people so much that I look forward to it and then find myself feeling left out of because I don't know what's going on.
I have had some serious health problems but I think the hearing issue is the thing that causes me to feel depressed most frequently. It is so isolating.
