so its not so much a volume problem as when I'm listening to someone talk-if its a long sentence or the person is a long wind talker-it sounds like they are speaking a different language almost like pig latin. I dont really expect a solution as I just want your thoughts about how to explain it and to what kind of doctor.It only happens about every other day and is more common on the phone(I gave my guy such a hard time before I found out it was me)

Go to an audiologist.

Baring an infection or blockage of some type I hate to break this too you but that is the first sign of hearing loss. You may think the volume is okay, and it sounds okay to you, but your not really hearing at the same volume you used to.
See an ear doctor first to discount infection or blockage. If it's not those then you just will learn to live with it. When it get bad enough you will need to (want to) get a hearing aid.

Its a common occurance. Youre not the only one. I get it sometimes too, but only with certain people (like if its a corwded room, and they are long winded and talk as fast as they can like the world is going to end in 3 seconds)... anyway- if its really interfering with your everyday life, it is probably time to go see a physician. Go to an ENT (ear nose, and throat specialist). They will know exactly what to do, how to help you, what tests to do, and where it might lead to in the future. And even if its not, you can atleast consult them to get more answers. Sometimes first consultations are free, but it all depends on the doc.
Good luck!

I'm not sure but your ear may be blocked by something or you really space out when your listening to people talk. Not saying this in a bad way. You shold go see a ear doctor about this and tell him everything that has been going on, it might be a psychological problem.

You NEED to see a medical doctor about this problem. Tell the doctor EXACTLY what your symptoms are. It could be a psychological problem (attention) or there could be something wrong with the 'receptors' in your brain. I've heard of this condition before, but can't remember what the name of the condition was or how it was treated. SEE YOUR DOCTOR and 'explain' the problem EXACTLY.

It sounds like you just don't have the attention span to listen to someone for very long. If you get bored and your attention wanders, you won't be listening very well at all and everything will come out garbled.

Instead of focusing on the words, you focus on tones. By doing so, you're losing the conversations.
In some cases, that can be a sign of verbal dyslexia.

Sounds like an inner ear infection. Need to get it checked out.
