- I get confused about where sounds come from
- I misunderstand some words in a sentence and need to ask people to repeat themselves
- I especially have trouble understanding the speech of women and children
- I have trouble understanding the speaker in a large room such as at a meeting or place of worship
- Many people I talk to seem to mumble (or do not speak clearly)
- People get annoyed because I misunderstand what they say
- I misunderstand what others are saying and make inappropriate responses
- I avoid social activities because I cannot hear well and fear I will reply improperly
