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?!

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that so many places don't adjust the volume properly to the amount of people in the place. If I go to a sports bar near me for happy hour, they have the music the same volume as when a big game is on and the place is packed.

It seems the music is set for the staff instead of the customers too.

“Turn it up loud enough we don’t have to hear these assholes complain”

You may have just nailed the motivation.
