Did your go do the hearing test or did you go to audiologist? If your hearing is severe enough you may need to get hearing aides. I see a few young people wearing them. Better to wear them and being able to hear than miss what has been said.

Must be a younger person. Sorry to hear that getting hearing aides would get you bullied. That's not right.

I can imagine the people in college can still be rude. Has the hearing loss affected your classes a far as hearing the teacher or other students as they talk? One can imagine if your missing things that it could affect grades and communication barriers.
