All of this is like a bright light suddenly blazing in a darkened room for me! I have always had problems hearing conversations when there are other noises going on around me and I was convinced I must be going deaf. Now it turns out that I'm simply unable to mentally filter out all the background ambience and focus on whoever's talking to me.

I often fly into a rage if I'm interrupted while concentrating on a task. I'm hopeless at multi-tasking.

Well, you get the picture!
