In psychology, I learned about something called the cocktail party effect. In short, there is just too much noise for your brain to register anything comprehensible. Kind of like how it is at a large party. Tons of people all talking about different things at the same time, so you can't understand much at all.
I work in a very noisy place and sometimes my hearing is ok, and sometimes I can hardly hear the people I am helping. I have just learned to pay closer attention.
