anyone who's hard of hearing here?

[fleshgarden]

I was wondering if anyone here has hearing loss, as I have been finding that I want to bond with others who are lately .. I was born with hearing loss and I've worn hearing aids since I was 5 months old c:

Im partially deaf in my left ear and suffer tinnitus in the other.
ive been offered a hearing aid which I refused. As long as I'm close enough to people when they talk to me then I'm ok.

I have some hearing loss from work. I used to work in environments that would get up to 130db. I don't know how bad it is but the tests they did revealed that I lost 15% of my hearing. I often have difficulty talking to people because of it but I don't know if it's because I can't process what they're saying or if I genuinely don't hear them. It doesn't seem too bad though idk.
