Listening, understanding and aphasia

I can hear, but:

• I have difficulty listening, and understanding what other people say
• I have difficulty understanding some words
• I have difficulty following conversations.

I can mostly understand what others say, but this gets difficult:

• in a crowded or noisy place
• when I'm tired or anxious
• if the other person talks too quickly
• or doesn't make it clear what the topic of conversation is
• or uses complicated words or long sentences.
