DUDE!
You are not alone. Yes, the places that you mention are nightmares for me, too. I actually went to every free hearing test that was offered because I thought that I was going deaf. But the hearing tests are given in quiet environments and my hearing is actually better than normal.
When I'm trying to concentrate, I listen to music. I can't concentrate if someone is singing. I need instrumental music for that.
I don't know if it's just an ISFP thing but I kind of suspect that other types may experience this, too.

DUDE, you mean I am not the only one with this problem??? Restaurants, pubs, bars, and clubs are absolute NIGHTMARES for me because I literally cannot hear what other people are saying. I feel like, dude, am I going deaf? But this does not happen without background noise.
I also hate it when I'm trying to sleep or concentrate and there is noise everywhere. GAHHH! So I have ear plugs and/or buds to listen to music that I know and it is predictable. Or a movie I've watched fifty million times and know by heart. Then I can concentrate.
:-/ Is this just an ISFP thing, or do other types have it, too?
