For hearing impaired people it just makes conversation difficult to impossible.

My husband is profoundly deaf. It has completely changed his personality. He used to enjoy being with people, now he is the zombie in the room, when we get together as a family he is completely left out. He can hear, but he cannot comprehend what people are saying to him unless it is one on one. Agree with you on dining out, it is a nightmare for him, so much background noise from other tables enjoying themselves. I no longer feel safe leaving him which is impacting my life too.
