How does hearing loss change you?

I've posted this before but, despite years of reminding my wife that I can't understand her when she speaks from another room or doesn't mute the TV first, she continues to do those things. It's a daily/nightly thing for me to, once again, remind her... or simply give up and not try to understand. She understands the situation but, for some reason, doesn't remember from day to day. We both accept the reality of the situation but it's odd to me that it continues. I guess because it's not a big deal when it happens - we don't get frustrated - it doesn't "stick,"

@bradmm I have the exact same situation with my husband. I think he has more trouble accommodating my hearing loss than anyone else who knows me does. He often talks from the kitchen when I am in the family room, and his back will be to me so there is no way I am going to understand what he says. It's really frustrating when I ask him to repeat more than once and he just drops out. He has finally gotten used to muting the TV sound when he says something to me.
