If I'm thinking this correctly...the big change is learning to filter sound...and to discriminate but mostly how to learn to focus sound differently. You'll have to learn hearing again. Before you took in all sound and processed it. Now you'll have to process a loud sound and then move on to the next sound. It won't be easy at first to move on and not dwell on the loud sound. Let me think about this. Rush always said his hardest time hearing is a large room with many sounds.

Seems like you'll have to learn how to re-focus. As in barriers all around but ignoring them to a certain degree...and then sharping your senses to language. It will take some time but actually after a while you'll be able to use the different sounds to your advantage.

In normal hearing we discriminate all the time without the super hearing..you can do it Vipper. Patience with the goal in mind.

I can’t hear at all in a large room like a restaurant or wedding at all. Even the waitress or waiter trying to take my order. My daughters and I go out to eat and we end up using ASL which we all know for most of time as I can’t hear them over 3/4’s of the time. My daughter said give it 3-4 months outside of the house to adjust to them. She said in the house it should take the 3-4 weeks I was told.
