I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

Same here, stimulant meds help a lot with it. I also have troubles understanding lyrics in songs. English isn't my first language and I really thought that I just don't understand this accents. Turns out that I can understand the lyrics way better when on meds, without it just sounds jibberisch - I can hear the syllables but they don't make any sense.

That! My Boo has the hardest time figuring out if I've listened to a song or not because he tells me the name of the song and the artist and I go "I don't fucking know dude", so he tells me some of the lyrics, and I go ยฏโ \โ (โ โ—‰โ โ€ฟโ โ—‰โ )โ /โ ยฏ, so he plays me the song and within the first two notes I'm like "oh yeah I've heard this a billion times" ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ
