Okay, what I've done to improve my listening skills is I started to pay attention more with my eyes. I started to visually look at things so that I can hear them more. I know that those are two different things, but if I pay attention visually, then I can usually hear it. It's hard for me, but like I say, I pay attention to detail, I pay attention visually, like read along, I read lips, everything that is needed so that I can listen better.
