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?!

In some crowded places they do it, so it doesn't feel like a central station.

Most respectable places have music that is loud at the beginning of service when there are few diners, but then the music gets lower as time goes on and the place fills up.

....not that I reread this, I'm really not implying you dont go to reputable places....really
