How does hearing loss change you?

@bobbyboomer My daughter and her husband, and my son and his fiancee were visiting this weekend, which always makes me happy but it now has become a difficult, sometimes depressing time because I miss so much of what is being said in a group. It really is hard to not be able to distinguish when multiple are speaking, everything ends up sounding like gibberish. Constantly asking people to repeat what they said is annoying to me, and I am sure to the other person also.
We also did some entertaining while they were visiting which of course made it even worse for me. I have always enjoyed entertaining and having guests but when I do now, I often end up a bit depressed.
I am hoping for some giant advances in hearing aids that will help with this. At my age though by the time that happens I will probably be long gone.
JK

Hi Jk. Group settings are hard I use my tcoil In my heating aid even there is no loop setting . It helps a little bit. There are devices that you have a mike to a mini box type thing like pocket talker. Having folks in a circle settting helps. There a new thing I am made aware of by my friend a designer writer.. way you set up your home and what type of furniture you have makes a difference in sound. Softer furniture is. Wetter than having wood type .
