I have had problems with background noise for a while now. Went to an audiologist a couple of years ago, and was told that my hearing is "fine", but my brain doesn't process what I'm hearing properly. OK. The term Auditory Processing Disorder wasn't used, but I'm sure that's what she was talking about.

I do OK in most environments. I've learned to avoid loud bars. But my daughter and I went to a concert last week. Heard the music fine (how could you not, at those decibels). But I could not make out a thing she said to me. Even watching her talk did not help.

How do you handle really noisy enviroments? I'm considering telling her next time to text me rather than try to talk. If it doesn't "send", she can just show me her phone.
