YouTube Deafness 

Temporary hearing loss attributed to watching a low-quality, quiet video on YouTube with poor audio then switching to a video that is louder with better audio quality.

Usually only applies when the victim is wearing headphones due to the unexpected blast of sound that comes with switching videos.
Person 1: Oh man I cant hear anything right now. I was watching a quiet music video on YouTube and I switched to a loud one and it blew out my eardrums man!

Person 2: Yeah man that's called YouTube Deafness. It has happened to me too. Just wait a couple of minutes and it will clear right up.

Gender Deafness 

A condition affecting men, rendering them unable to hear the words spoken by a woman. This is subsequently followed by the man parroting back exactly what was said, but repackaged as his own original thought, or mansplaining, or a combination of both.
Woman to group: "We have two options. We can fix the pole, utilise a generator for 3 days in the interim, but potentially have to sink the connection in 5-10 years when the main cable is sunk, rendering the pole redundant. Or we can sink the connection now and utilise a generator for 2-3 months."
Man to the woman: "Yeah, but you've got to careful how you go about it. I see that we have two options. We can fix the pole or we can sink the connection."
Woman to man: "I just said that. You are suffering gender deafness. I have an IQ in the top one percent of the population but yet, somehow, lower IQ men like you seem to think you are entitled to talk to me like I'm stupid. Fuck you and your mental deficit."
