Yep, same here. My hearing is fine, but trying to understand speech through a telephone is a chore unless I'm in a very quiet room, and even then I can't hear the other party if they interrupt me.
Is it possible that you have an auditory processing disorder? My fiancee has it and this sounds pretty much like her experience with phones.
Look at the evidence:
- Her Reddit account is only five months old, and most of her posts are about her cancer.
- Her blog is less than a year old, and contains only six posts (all about cancer).
- She won't share any serious proof, not even with the Reddit mods.
- She's using a Paypal account that doesn't identify her real name.
If pizzarules1000 (that's what we have to call her, since she won't share her real name) is desperate for her life, she could have fooled me. Why didn't she PM the reddit mods, so that they could verify her information? Why didn't she ask the Cyrogenics Institute to handle preservation fund? Why won't she videoblog? The whole think looks like a lazy attempt to make a few bucks, rather than a desperate attempt to preserve her own life.
There is a conversation going on about her on the CI Facebook page that seems to indicate that she has been in contact with them. According to info there, her name is Kim Suozzi. Also they will set up a fund at CI for her, once she becomes a member and they vet her story. So If you are considering donating, but worried its a scam, it might be best to hold off until then.

What about the brain damage her tumor is causing?
This seems important and I'm a little surprised no one's asked. How will her brain damage impact her chances of revival? (From the blog linked in the reddit post, it sounds like she is already experiencing symptoms.) Obviously she is quite mentally competent right now, but what about when she is declared legally dead? I am far from an expert and simply would like to hear some authoritative commentary on this. I am interested in donating but only if there's a reasonable chance brain damage won't make it superfluous.
It is in her brainstem. Which while that makes it very difficult to treat, it probably increases her chances of being revived intact.
