How does hearing loss change you?

Joangela ……...Like you I was a very social person. Not so much now and I miss it a lot. It just so frustrating to miss so much of the conversation. What I do hear takes me a minute to figure out and when I start to respond the group is on to another topic. Today I am going with some friends to lunch and then a movie. Although I have been wanting to see if I can still enjoy a movie I am also kind of dreading trying to keep up with the conversation in the car and at lunch. I'm also afraid if I don't go to things gradually I will no longer be asked.

It makes me glad that my Dad, who can't hear very well, will let me know when he can't hear me. He feels comfortable doing this at home around family. Then my brother or Mom will repeat what I say because he can understand them better. I often use hand motions to help him understand. For some reason, some voices he can hear better than others.
