I have old ears that suffer from being a cannon-cocker in USMC 45 years ago, plus much abuse since then. Being in a crowded vehicle with several people talking at once drives me up the wall! Need hearing aids but resisting.
Heavy equipment, marine mechanic (big outboards are LOUD when you fire them up in the shop on a water hose), lots of gunfire, loud cars,and time on the flight line....huh?
As previously stated, crowded places with multiple people talking are killer. I never know what anyone is talking about. Funny thing is, I can hear mechanical noises quite clearly so it drives me nuts to try to hear the TV when the washing machine is running in the backgroud.

My lady friend is deaf in one ear. Some medication when she was a baby caused nerve damage.
I dont have it, but my hearing isint perfect either.
This is GC ... He was on the flight line. Plus he's been shooting since he could stand.
It bothers me a WHOLE lot more than it bothers him. I have to repeat everything I say 3 times ... First time I say it, no response; second time I get "huh" and then the third time he says "Gosh baby, you don't gotta yell at me!"
Well, apparently, I DO have to yell at him ...
I keep telling him he needs to go get his hearing checked ... He keeps telling me to mind my own business ...
I've only had medication-induced tinnitis ... I swear if I thought I was gonna have to deal with that racket 24/7 I'd go nuts ... I feel for you guys!
This sounds familiar. My wife swears its just selective hearing but it truly is a disability.........hey I wonder if I can get a govt check for it?
I've got it.

The crazy thing is that I have nearly perfect upper and low range hearing. I can hear a watch ticking in a drawer but I have to focus to hear my wife talking to me. It's funny that way, typical men's hearing loss is in the range of a typical woman's voice. Not sure if that is a blessing or a curse!
yep, 24/7.....always gotta have some background noise going on, a quiet room = loud ringing.
