Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I will suggest that you get your ears examined by ENT specialist and also get Pure Tone Audiometry done. It is a simple test to asses what type of words you are missing and at what frequency.
It will help rule out ear problem. Sometimes the problem maybe in processing the audio signals.
You can followup with me with your reports.
