Do non-hearing impaired friends/family ever jump in to speak for you?

I have a few friends that seem to think it's their "job" to let people know I am hearing impaired, and will answer for me when I did hear what was said and am taking a moment to answer. Sometimes these friends will repeat what they just said when I pause to answer in conversation, and feel the need to add, "You didn't hear me. I said..."

I tell them I am thinking, I can answer for myself, or I look to the person they have given "my reply" to and let them know I heard them, and and then answer with MY reply.

I know these friends think they are being helpful and considerate, but are assuming that if I don't respond within a fraction of a second that I didn't hear/understand what was said.

I try to be tactful overall in these situations, yet it's kind of frustrating. It's also a bit awkward when this happens in a group setting and it's "announced" that I can't hear, when in actuality, I have my aids in and can hear just fine.

She, along with my friends, will wait for me to ask them to repeat what another person said. I'm pretty good a reading lips though. She also seems to understand that I'm afraid people will think I'm rude if they are trying to talk to me and I don't see them. She will say "my mommy can't hear well, can you hold on".

Maybe you should set up a signal? lol.

when ordering. She knew how I liked my food and would answer all the questions the order taker would ask of me. It was cute.

at all restaurants and any place she wants my help in communication. I grew up being oral, but didn't learn ASL till I was 17.

understand a word my son or daughter-in-law says. He growls out his word and she almost whispers. Now, that I have some extra money I don't know where to turn to get hearing aids.
