I have really annoying hearing. I'm not sure how to fully describe it but my ears are super tuned into sounds. Very often I will be sitting with my wife or somebody else and I am like "do you hear that?" and they are like "wtf are you talking about?" and I have to be like "Shhh... That! Did you hear it?" and they are like "no wtf" and then I'm like "Wait no no... Wait... That! Did you hear it?" and they are like "Wait yeah... How tf did you hear that while we were talking? Were you paying attention?" and I'm like "No, I wasn't because I kept hearing this noise"...

Like... Sometimes people's voices just sound like noises and I can't hear them unless I focus because my ears are listening to the noises around me. It can be really frustrating.

Oh yeah, I get that too, where my brain just decides not to decipher spoken words suddenly. At any rate, noise cancelling headphones are awesome.
