Agreed, though sadly this doesn't apply to me. Hearing issues doesn't always mean hearing loss. I have Auditory Processing Disorder or Auditory Dyslexia means my hearing is good, but I don't always understand what people are saying.

Speaker phone makes it easier for me to understand what the other person is saying. But again its a dick move to use it in public.

What happened when you tried the bone conducting type? What we’re your findings with this one?

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't try those yet. I presume it wouldn't be helpful since I need noise isolation and blocking. Not sure if they do that

Is that what it's called when other noise makes you not understand what people are saying?

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much. The inability to filter voices from other noises. Not fun when you are on a bus and the engine is the only thing you can make out

And why I avoid noisy bars and stuff. I noticed once during the fire drill at work, we were all standing outside and the loud alarm was beeping like a truck backing up and the whole time I couldn't make out what people were saying. I could hear the noises coming from their mouths, but couldn't understand a thing.

Alarm stopped and I could understand them fine.

Is it the Dichotic listening part? Airpod Pros might do wonders.

I have noise cancelling Sony earbuds for a while now. At this point I've just gotten use to how people talk, and guessing at what they said and I missed.
