One thing I have major trouble with is quiet settings like libraries. Between the ringing in my ear and whispers, I will never understand a word someone is saying. They may have to nudge me or address me in a low tone of voice to get my attention in that environment. But even a quiet voice in low pitch will be hard to understand. Even if someone whispers into my ear, I STILL can't accurately pick out what they say. It's like bits and pieces. I have 3 different tonal ringing in my ears which switch back and forth or become more noticeable. One at about 14khz, one at 9khz, and one at like 300hz I think.
