For some interesting reading on age related hearing/comprehension, search
for:
"Phonemic Regression Syndrome" (NOT a joke !)
A quote from one of the pages:" In a "nutshell, these impairments are
certainly characteristic of a central auditory processing disorder. We've
all heard the term "phonemic regression" defined as a disproportionate
inability to understand what others are saying when compared to the
individual's degree of hearing loss."
Typically, an audiologist at your favorite hearing center can test you for
this.
It's quite depressing to consider this coming on.
It basically affects audible speech, but MAY affect Morse copy as well.

Yup. Like the old joke, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" Practice!
I also suspect age has a lot to do with it. I was licensed at 12. Upgraded
at 13, but couldn't afford a SSB radio for 2-3 years, so did CW only. Found
the QRQ guys (in the early 70s) at the low end of 40 CW and programs were
available, I found I hit a wall at ~100 WPM, despite practice. Other than
contesting, I really haven't been active for the last 5-10 years and my
speed has significantly dropped.
