can't hear yourself think
be unable to concentrate because of noise
If you can't hear yourself think, the noise around you is so loud that you cannot concentrate.
Hear it in real life
Shall we talk here?
No, I can't hear myself think in this crowd.
The roadworks are so loud that I can't hear myself think.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I can't hear myself to think.
Say: I can't hear myself think.
This expression puts the base verb "think" directly after "myself," without "to."
