threemonkeysI have always struggled with hearing what people are saying in noisy environments. I have had my hearing tested a number of times, and it is always come out as being pretty good - especially at the higher end of the register. So it is probably a wetware problem which is slowly getting worse as my hearing does naturally deteriorate with age.
I also have very fond memories of Get Smart on TV back in my childhood. I got lent season 3 recently and it still holds up fairly well. It has comedic flaws and outdated social attitudes, but Don Adams and Barbara Feldon were a superb double act.
You will have spotted the connection by now - "The Cone of Silence". Even in fiction, it never worked. But look at this - a real life personal cone of silence.
Also this made for two model, almost like the real thing:
