MODERATORS
Do you have experience with Auditory Processing Disorder? I say that because I started noticing symptoms in my early 30s when I developed tinnitus.
Hadn't heard of that one and had to look it up... but no, my problem is that I had a loud car stereo when I was younger and blew out my hearing in the upper ranges. I can hear better in my right ear, but usually put the phone up to my left. When it's quiet I can understand people just fine, but when there's background noise it makes them a lot harder to understand. If I'm watching videos at my computer I can turn down the bass and turn up the treble, then I understand the dialog just fine, but everyone else in the house complains that it's now too loud.
I've had over 30 years to adjust and I make do, but don't try to talk to me at a concert. :-)
