  • ^^ 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?

  • My partner has the same, super acute hearing but can't make out what people are saying in noisy places.

    I got my ears (well hearing, how do you test ears?;) tested, they are fine. So when I don't hear people it's a case of my brain going "meh, attention somewhere else"
