Very true that many now have less hearing ability! I've had to lean in and say "what? what?" many times while dining here in TV. And my tablemates do the same. And the tables next to us. The sound then escalates. It's uncomfortable and I have a dear friend that won't even go with us to a local favorite country club because of it.
Smaller rooms, drapery, carpet all help with "absorbing sound". But that "cozy" style restaurant is difficult to find here in TV.
