Totally relate. Aged about 30 I lost almost all hearing on one side due to an ear infection. I now find noisy places very disorientating, to the point sometimes that I feel physically unwell.
But others thrive in environments, and that's fine too. TL;DR, to each their own, but nobody should force the one onto the other, or themselves. I mean yeah, on occasion, exception, compromise, have to have been there to know, that kinda thing.
