Some people like tuning out everything around them

Others can have a distinct problem picking voices out of surrounding noise.

Yeah hearing aids have gotten a lot better at it since I started wearing them but still they make it harder to separate the noises. Especially the person I’m talking to vs the people having a conversation behind me.

Fair, but I was talking about cases where someone is trying to communicate, but won't wear a device to help them. Like my brother in law. A great storyteller and a hoot to have around, but misses a lot of context because he refuses to wear hearing aids
