Edit: Wow "Please don't be surprised if I pull out my computer at dinner and begin handling some of my email. I have difficulty hearing when there is noise; at dinner, when people are speaking to each other, I usually cannot hear their words. Rather than feel bored, or impose on everyone by asking them to speak slowly at me, I do some work."
Auditory confusion: This can occur when there is difficulty locating and isolating individual sounds in an environment where there are multiple sources of conflicting noise. “Cocktail party deafness” is one example of auditory confusion when background noise competes with foreground.
Auditory stimulus bound effect: Stimulus bound effect describes the ability to ignore irrelevant auditory stimuli in the immediate environment. Individuals who suffer from stimulus bound effect are easily distracted by irrelevant auditory stimuli.
The radio is the worst. If I read lyrics I can get them memorized or sing along no problem. But I can hear a song 100 times and still not know many of the words. It still amazes me that people can actually hear all the words and make them out while I have absolutely no trouble remembering the notes/instrumentation etc...

Edit: From the downvotes, I see that hosting someone with a requirements list that's north of a bunch of pages is not a burden for most. Still, though, in my book he's too spoilt of a visitor.
E.g. People purposefully confusing Free Software and Open Source when asking questions. A broken air-conditioner in his room. Putting avocado in his food. Bringing him breakfast in bed.
Yeah, I get it - apparently RMS is enough of a dick to have a document prepared ahead of time to tell you what he likes and doesn't like, so you don't have to waste time preparing a bunch of stuff that's just going to cause problems as a host. Man, what a dick.
(I get it - I wouldn't particularly want to host for him, myself, but if I had to, it would be helpful to know in advance what works and what doesn't).
