For anyone not aware, if this happens to you frequently and you don’t have any hearing loss it can be a symptom of auditory processing disorder. If you have ADHD or are on the autism spectrum it’s more likely you also have auditory processing disorder.

Yep, sometimes I feel like my brain has conversation dyslexia. Like I hear the sounds just fine, but they mean nothing to me.

Same. Though the trigger I find is being in a place with a lot of conversations going on at once (such as a busy bar). Its like my brain is trying to process every conversation and can't focus on the one that actually matters.
