Getting together with a group of hearing people conversing can be challenging.
But I do not avoid going to family activities or group activities due so. I am usually fortunate enough to have at least one person to relay what is going on. So I am not too left out. I may not catch everything at the time. But I do feel welcome. My hearing friends and family even tells me that they do not catch everyones conversation due to they are talking over each other. So that makes me feel better as well. Hearing people can not hear and understand more than one person talking at a time as well. Usually group conversations are broken up to individuals talking to each other.
