Sorry for the subjective title.
Basically, do you think that most of your friends and family members understand your needs?
I'm HoH and sometimes I think that my family & friends forget. For instance, they will often use an aggressive tone when asked to repeat something. Or, they may excessively increase the loudness of their voice. I find this annoying because signs of aggression suggest that they can't be bothered, and speaking excessively loud is just rude. More often than not, all they need to do is face me and speak more clearly.
Sure, if it was someone I didn't know very well, I'd be more understanding and tolerant. However, with family and friends, it is very frustrating at times.
