^^ Ditto, precisely! Now I have a name for the problem I have been struggling with for years. At its worst in a crowded pub with echoing acoustics. Oddly, I can still hear a sparrow fart at 200m+ in quiet countryside and am always first to hear people talking in a woodland, is this consistent with you guys? Pardon? What?

I have noise induced deafness, means I can’t hear much when there is any background noise. My family know this but they still expect me to hear them asking something from two rooms away whilst the washing machine and the radio are on in the kitchen.
