I have a similar issue which I learned to live with by avoiding very loud environments (lots of people talking in a tight indoor setting). I sometimes mishear dialogue while watching movies and have to rewind here and there. However, when listening using headphones the problem goes away almost entirely. The amplification seems to help in this case. Similarly in semi crowded environments it should help as well. It never bothered me enough to try hearing aids but if barriers to acces dissapear Im willing to give it a try. OTC and prescriptionless should help since I don’t have a medical insurance at the moment.
