Agreed, though sadly this doesn’t apply to me. Hearing issues doesn’t always mean hearing loss. I have Auditory Processing Disorder or Auditory Dyslexia means my hearing is good, but I don’t always understand what people are saying.
Speaker phone makes it easier for me to understand what the other person is saying. But again its a dick move to use it in public.
And why I avoid noisy bars and stuff. I noticed once during the fire drill at work, we were all standing outside and the loud alarm was beeping like a truck backing up and the whole time I couldn’t make out what people were saying. I could hear the noises coming from their mouths, but couldn’t understand a thing.
I have noise cancelling Sony earbuds for a while now. At this point I’ve just gotten use to how people talk, and guessing at what they said and I missed.

Is that what it’s called when other noise makes you not understand what people are saying?
Pretty much. The inability to filter voices from other noises. Not fun when you are on a bus and the engine is the only thing you can make out

Alarm stopped and I could understand them fine.
Is it the Dichotic listening part? Airpod Pros might do wonders.
