   How big is the speaker in this "radio"? It seems to me that you might   
   have bought a piece of cheap junk. But then, the only "radios" I listen   
   to are the ones in my car and an old mp3/radio player with headphones.   
   Otherwise, I listen to the radio on my home sound system, which has   
   really good speakers or the similar one in my bedroom.   
      
   Does your car "radio" sound OK to you? That would suggest your hearing   
   is not going bad.   
      
   Could you be listening to wifi sources with low data rates? Have you   
   tried "stations"?
