'audio saturated environment'
That's a new one
Not at all really and a lot of people, males in particular, have problems assimilating several noise sources.
It is something which happens at puberty to about 30 percent of males.
For myself it made learning morse code (in the Grey Funnel Line) the devils own job; all I heard was a stream of noise.
The same may happen if several people are talking at the same time; perhaps in somewhere like a pub where music may also be playing.
I wonder if this surprisingly common condition has been sufficiently thought about.
