To add to what Don said,
Restaurant noise levels are a plague for me. With my hearing loss
the noise level just shoves everything to sound like noise with no
intelligence detectable.
I note that some now have cc activated on TV's with sound turned down
to keep background sound lowered. That allows patrons to follow
sports or news programs without everyone raising their voice to
compete with the TV. Background music is just noise if I want
conversation with anyone. Finer restaurants go to some lengths to
produce the "quiet atmosphere" for fine dining. The restaurants that
cater to twenty-something crowd seem to relish in making it loud.
It really gets to me when they play loud music in the restrooms -ugh.
Running the ham radio in the car or truck is challenge because I need
the volume too high for my wife's comfort. Do not wear a headset as
this might compromise my driving (ability to detect presence of other
vehicle). But then I try to operate in the "parked mode" as
distracted driving is not wise. Same for cellphone use while driving
(illegal in some states).
