We're on the same boat. Intellectual studies have sometimes that result. It's like learning to ride a bicycle and reading a book to reinforce it: you'll fall less times, but not at the very beginning.
A trick I learnt -but it may backfire- is watching films with subtitles (in my case, in English both movies and their subtitles) and alter the synchronization to show the subtitles one second in advance -so you are prepared for what you're gonna hear- and as your hearing comprehension improves you may end up setting the subtitles one or two seconds behind so you can catch up anything you have lost.
It doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try (almost all I know of English comes from that, participating in forums and consulting dictionaries).
