I have mild hearing loss - but it doesn't really affect me. Except at work sometimes people think I'm a bit absent-minded.
Without realising it - I seem to rely on lip reading quite a bit. As a result - in loud bars - my hearing is usually a bit better than those around me...
It is no big deal really. Since I always bear in mind what Bob Hope said after his hearing started to fade late in life:
'It is not important if I can hear you, as long as you can hear me.'
Thats true about "hearing" somebody in a loud environment. It is when people in a form of circle jerk talk away from you and this throws me and therefore isolating me from the conversation.
I have lost easy lays from this as girls will automatically assume two things; quiet or weird.
