We all suffer from the problem of trying to listen to individual conversations 
in noisy environments. One possible solution would be to use a directional 
microphone feeding into a neck loop.

Possible microphone types would be a paraboloid reflector or a "shotgun" microphone.

Has anyone tried either of these? There seems to be absolutely nothing available 
commercially. I have tried to construct a paraboloid, but the microphone I have 
been trying to place at the focus is too grotty - it really needs a cardiod one 
to eliminate the background, but I don't want to start spending too much money 
until I know more about what I am up to.
