Either you go to much better behaved bars than I do do or...
In fact, this is what I lost in my late fifties and one reason I
retired from teaching full time. I cannot discriminate if there is a
middling to high level of background noise and often can't hear the
person I'm talking to in environments where there is a lot going on.
Very annoying.
However, like any teacher, I can still hear bad language at a half
kilometre distance in a high wind with two hundred kids yelling in
between. It's an ability I first noticed in my mother.
