Re: Hearing aids

-- "I don't hear conversations very well, but really don't want to go to hearing aids yet because I've heard many stories like this one." --

I've always had a problem with hearing what people are saying to me if there's a lot of chattering going on around, often even if they're quite close.

My hearing tests were always fine and I read that some people have something like.... "cocktail party syndrome". Anyone heard of this?

So I can hear fine, but simply find it difficult to distinguish words directed at me from the background noise. Extremely irritating!
