Slappy:
Yo dude, I went through the same type of hearing problem when I was in
my late 20's/early thirties. It seemed to be at its worst whenever
dipthongs were used in a sentence (essentially, diphthongs are vowel
combinations that can be both difficult to ennunciate, as well as hear). I
went to a number of hearing specialists who confirmed that this was
happening (along with the sage advice that I was geting older) and it
seemed to level off by my mid-thirties. But what a load of crap I took
from an ex-wife and several ex-girl friends who swore that I was just
not listening.
Today, I have a much different, but related problem. Just about a month
ago, I had some spine fusion done and one of the screws not only broke
but ricocheted inside my spine, puncturing my spinal cord, and causing
spinal meningitis (system wide blood poisoning). On those rare
occasions when I am reasonably lucid, the last thing that I want is to
hear anyone ... so I guess it balances out.
Be well, Rich
