I can hear sounds but not people talking

Definitely at least 50% of the time I don’t hear what people say to me when I’m listening, but I hear sounds fine. What the fuck.

    Same. I actually have above average hearing from hearing tests I have done. My hearing is crazy sensitive but most of the time I can not hear what people say, its just all mumble. I am always saying "WHAT"

    If I am watching tv the littlest back ground noise completely cuts out the tv.

    I'd say that's not normal. You should probably go to get your hearing checked and explain your scenario. They might know what the problem is straight away.

    This is weird, dude. Defo not normal. I listen to audiobooks when drifting off at night, and even when I'm paying no attention to it, I still understand the words.

    Idk, dude. There must be something for this; there's a medical illness for people who think they're dead, lol, so there's bound to be other people with this, but I would also guess, if I'm understanding what you're meaning from this, that it's very unusual

    Reminds me of "The Sound Of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel/Disturbed

    You just have trouble to focus because you don't pay attention to the person talking to you. You're probably a very selfish person.
