This.One thing I will say is that my hearing isn't as bad as my family thinks. So sometimes, I'll just be sitting there watching TV and they'll have conversation near me, talking low, and I can totally hear it.
It's more an inability to filter out nearby noise than it is stone deafness. Like I wrote earlier: running water, chewing something crunchy, the washing machine, etc. ... that kind of stuff will drown out anything you're saying from the next room.
