> I have that issue as well

You say issue, I say feature. It's a great way to just ignore boring babbling at parties or other social engagements where you're just not that engaged. Sort of like selective hearing in relationships, but used on a wider audience

I don’t mean to speak for OP, but it strikes me as rude to make light of someone’s disability in this way. I’d guess it has caused them a lot of frustration.

Your assumption leads you to believe that I do not also suffer from the same issue. Ever since I was in a t-bone accident and the side airbag went off right next to my head, I have a definite issue hearing voices in crowded and noisy rooms with poor sound insulation. Some rooms are much worse than others.

So when I say I call it a feature, it's something I actually deal with unlike your uncharitable assumption.

		Sometimes, late at night when I'm trying to sleep, and I hear the grumble of a Harley, or my neighbors staggering to their door, I wonder: why do we not have earflaps, like we do eyelids?

It's not so great when I'm standing right next to my technician in a pumphouse and I can't understand what he's trying to say to me.
