I think I have said this in about a million posts, but I truly believe it. When you are losing your hearing, it isn't living with hearing loss that is hard, it is knowing HOW to live with hearing loss that is hard. Realistically, I can't just say everything is going to be fine, or it all happens for a reason. But I think you really just have to take a step back and see what works for you. What do you have going on in your life that still remains the same or is maybe even better.
I just lost my hearing completely not that long ago and while I sat around moping because my family and a few of my friends are . . . jerks, I almost missed the fact that most of the people I surround myself with are pretty awesome, and could care less that they have to go out of their way to communicate with me. For me, I actually gained confidence after becoming deaf, not only confidence in those around me, but also in my own decision making skills.
I think after you get your new hearing aids, you will probably feel a lot better, but ultimately I would sit down and ask yourself why you feel less like yourself. You shouldn't feel like you are less yourself just because of a little hearing loss. (mind you, I am not saying it isn't normal to feel like that. I definitely did for a while.) You are you, regardless of the status of your hearing. You should also discuss your feelings with a few people you really trust. That way if your hearing does get progressively worse, they know how you feel about it and you already have some people on your side. One of the biggest problems I had when I lost my hearing was feelings of loneliness, like I was the only deaf guy in a hearing world.
In all likelihood I am probably rambling on about stuff that doesn't make sense, but I really hope you do start feeling better. Just know that you aren't alone and sometimes the things we think are terrible, aren't nearly that bad at all.
