Health question - I can't hear for shit when there's even a bit of background noise. I make people repeat themselves all the time. I took some learning tests as a kid and in the section where they ask you to ID words with noise in the background I was in the 15th percentile (v. bad). Tester didn't say anything about it, probably cause I was there trying to scam adderal for some ADD that I don't have and he was suspicious...but it's gotten even worse since then. I hear fine during hearing tests when all other noise is blocked out. What's wrong with me and can it be fixed? Hearing aid or something?
Earwax. Get rid of it.
>>130055This is not the problem.
Do/Did you wear headphones a lot? Or are/were you consistently exposed to loud noises?If so, lolhearingaid (some come with background cancellers I think)
May I ask about classes you take and your school grades?

>>130060Not more than any of my friends. We went to a good amount of loud punk shows, I guess.>>130066Uh...I took hard classes and did well, I'm great at remembering shit I've read.
This is an actual problem, I know of someone who had it who never listened to loud music or worked in a loud environment, so I would ask your doctor, as it is an actual condition.
>>130122No shit!I have the same problem as OP, so bump. Anyone ever solved this before?
