what is this considered?

i’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but i wasn’t sure where else i could ask this.

i wear hearing aids, due to genetic hearing loss. my aunt is legally deaf, my mum wears hearing aids, and my grandfather also didn’t hear well even with his hearing aids. i can hear without my hearing aids, not particularly well, and before i got my hearing aids i relied on lip reading and subtitles if the volume was not loud enough or if i didn’t want to disturb others (my old roommate didn’t like the tv too loud).

i’ve only worn hearing aids for the last two years, but likely have never had “normal” hearing, as i’ve struggled with it as long as i can remember.

obviously i’m not deaf, but i also don’t think i would be considered hard of hearing - as my hearing is not as bad as those i know who are considered hard of hearing. so what would this be considered? just less than average hearing?

sorry if any of this sounds rude or uninformed

also if you have any questions or anything please comment!
