[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 478801, member: 11791"] Our audiologist had an interesting article in her waiting room... One key point was that the more effort you have to put into "catching" the words, the less mental energy you have left to make sense of what you are hearing. This is true whether the probem is auditory figure ground, or whether it is a simple hearing problem. Less background noise = less effort = better "attention" to what is said, and therefore you "get it". BUT... mental fatigue sets in, too, so that even if the setting NOW is close to ideal, if you've spent most of the day fighting to hear, you STILL may not catch it. And this one... nobody gets.
