Those noisy restaurants

They are not my favorite places. Those noisy restaurants are challenging places to be at the best of times. For anyone, whether or not they are blind. For me, they are confusing because when I am unable to hear those around me, when I am unable to hear as the waiter reads the menu to me, and when I am unable to engage in conversation because I am unable to hear, I become nervous, confused, and my first inclination is to simply leave my table and go towards the exit. For me, personally, it makes things that much more difficult whenever I am unable to hear what is going on around me. That is, to hear what is happening in my immediate vicinity. I find this to be so even more now that I am unable to see. I guess that is because I depend more heavily now on my sense of hearing due to my loss of vision.
