Months later, I realised that I had a problem in addition to those already diagnosed, but I did not attribute it to the injury. This was an inability to hear someone speaking directly at me if there was background noise, such as at a Christmas Lunch party. In nodded in acknowledgement to anyone speaking to me, but I rarely heard what they actually said. When my ploy was discovered, I was regarded as an anti social. The problem still pertains today, it has never been diagnosed, other than my G.P advising me to 'grin and bear it'. Could the injury, which affected short term memory and perception, be responsible, and if so, is there any treatment ?. I was be most grateful.
