Being a hard of hearing person, I’m always angry about people talking to me, and when I don’t hear them, they just say ‘never mind’, and when people turn their face while speaking, which cuts off a lot of general knowledge of what they’re saying.
Any scale of hearing loss is a big deal, and sometimes (not all) hoh people feel like they have their feet in two worlds, the hearing one, and the deaf one.
I am hard of hearing, and not specifically answering your question, hearing aids always make orchestra sound blended, and I can’t pick out one instrument from the rest of them
