@bobbiefriend That always is surprising, when people close to you just "don't get it". My husband was like that for a very long time but he is trying harder now. My daughter also has a hearing loss, completely unrelated to mine, but she is often not quite as understanding! I think that may be because her loss is more correctable than mine is, since a big part of mine now is understanding the words said.
@julieo4 Regarding the professionals, I have never yet seen an audiologist who has a hearing loss so they cannot completely understand. I think the more years they have been in practice the more they do understand what their patients are going through so that does help.

There is a book call Deaf Sense by David Losge- the book is a novel but the author was on dead on That I found out he has a loss. Hearing and not so hearing spouse. It is awesome . Really strange and I feel uncomfortable admitting this . But then I am not a people person . I have little patience for certain types hearing losses - I should be more patient but I have a really hard time understanding and hearing certain folks with certain sound .
And folks- now day; the last two weeks; Masks. Omg. Big part of my hearing is lip reading and I cannot hear the bank people etc- it is hard. I am trying to get set up for atm stuff and you supposed to call rather then the branch helping. Life is hard now.
