I made an appointment but ended up cancelling it.
I heard through the grapevine that he didn't have a sound education.

A man was concerned that his wife was losing his hearing so he spoke to his doctor about it. The doctor suggested standing 60 feet away and asking her a question in a normal speaking volume. If that didn't work, try 50 feet. If she still couldn't hear him, stand 40 feet and so on.
So he went home and tried it. He asked, "What's for dinner?" at 60 feet, 50 feet, 40 feet, 30 feet with no results. Finally, he walked up five feet away from her and asked loudly, "What's for dinner?"
"GOLDAMMIT, FRED, FOR THE FIFTH TIME, IT'S CHICKEN!!!"

Getting worse lately... sometimes, I get so tired of asking my husband to repeat himself - I just nod and smile.

Reasonably functional except tinnitus damaged multiple times from small club venue music concert speakers as a twentysomething. Most annoying when in quiet places.

My hearing loss is when I'm with several people and I can't zero in on one person's voice. Sitting around a table at a restaurant, I just spend a lot of time, like Cali said, nodding and smiling. I never know what I've just agreed with...LOL.
A radio playing in a car will give me problems,too, in hearing voices.

I don't have a problem hearing. People just don't speak slowly and loudly enough.
Sometimes the TV sound muffled and sometimes it's fine, but my ears always feel full. I tried irrigating with a syringe, but that didn't help. Neither did the Valsalva maneuver (gently try to blow air out the nose while holding it shut).
At the doctor's today, I hardly understood a word the technician said especially when she was facing away - she sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher. I didn't have any trouble when the doctor spoke. Go figure.
I took an online hearing test a few weeks ago, I can't hear anything in the high frequency range but I can hear the fire station alarm when it sounds 2 miles away.
