Yeah, same. My hearing is absolutely not great, but "good enough", but in noisy environments I struggle. Given I'm fairly introvert to start with, on one hand, I'm perfectly at ease just checking out and sitting with my own thoughts if I can't hear a conversation, but when I do decide to come out with someone I'd prefer it to be easier to be more social instead of resorting to checking out.
