Denise - thanks for the reminder. My ears are my last bastion of youth. Audio testing is on my bucket list. The Covid quarantines didn't help my hearing. I realized having a conversation with a mask on with someone with a mask combined with similar hearing problem you described created a lot of miscommunication. Humorously, ordering fast food through the 'remote' box with masks on became quite the experience. I usually ended up with all kinds of stuff I didn't intend to order. Audiology appt is in two weeks.
