I need to get a hearing test, but I can often hear things that people around me can't (TVs, radios, bad speakers, etc). But put me in a noisy bar or restaurant and I'm at a loss. I figure it's my ADHD as well.
On a related note, this is why people talking during movies is so infuriating for me: while they're talking the movie is basically turned off for me.
