I have CPS issues, too. In many supposedly "social" situations where there is background noise, I can't follow conversations worth a damn. I can hear the voices, but I can't make out the words. Yet when I have an actual hearing test, the results show that I have outstandingly good hearing.
I've read that 20% of the population experiences this, and the science behind the what and why is advancing but the wider population are still not very aware of it. I don't know of any way to cope with it except to avoid trying to converse in noisy "social" environments.
