I can't process competing audio tracks, and any sort of venue background noise can cripple my ability to recognize the stream of verbiage emitting from a companion's mouth

Is there a name for this? Have people studied this problem? I might have an identical or related problem.

Sensory Processing Disorder and/or autism. The two go together quite often; I've learned a lot about them from my 4-year-old. "The Out-of-Sync Child" is the classic text on SPD.

SPD treatment basically involves acclimitization via "sensory diets".
