DIY Hearing test
Selective hearing has its uses but if it's starting to cramp your style:
Hearing test online | Blamey Saunders hears' Speech Perception Test (SPT)
No connection other than as a customer of the company.Cheers, Ern

I only had one out of the norm. But I'm not good at hearing folk talk when there's background noise.
Clearly it's a limited test.Cheers, Ern

I hear what I want to hear when I want to hear it. Very handy skill.

Very interesting Ern - thanks for posting.
Only one below the line here, so I can't blame my hearing apparently.....
Another site which may be of interest to those trying to keep the grey matter working:
Brain Games & Brain Training - Lumosity
Lots of free stuff to be found. I started this after watching that Todd Sampson series on brain training, and have noticed dramatic improvements in my test scores over a few weeks. I still dribble and mutter to myself, but maybe not so much?
Lesson for the day: "There's a fine line between windsurfing, and floating face down in the water wondering what happened."

Sibilance - does this mean I don't hear siblings well - coz my sis is a school teach and shouts at me at all the time - drives me nutso!.
Don't now if I want to fix that particular issue! Kinda like it how it is just quietly.

If the missus yells at you because you did not hear her your hearing is perfect.
