I was like you - mainstreamed in the late 1970s onward. It was apparently the "standard" of that era, though I am given to understand that since the late 1980s/early 1990s it has been more common to not push mainstreaming as hard.

For me though it was absolutely vital, I think. Being able to function auditory-verbal allows me to communicate in ways that are utterly blocked to me on occasions when I can't do that (for example in loud multiple conversations, I'm stuck and sometimes have to shut off my hearing aids).

But yeah, I've had people be total dicks to me back in my school years over having HAs; since going to university it hasn't been as much of an issue though.
