Many times I can not tell the difference between o & a, e & a, o & u, as & is, and between os & us. I have no trouble distinguising the vowels in the middle of the word, just at the end where they are most important.
I thought each letter was supposed to have one sound, but I find that the vowels vary widely, and its confusing me. I don't mean variations from person to person, but from word to word spoken by one person.

It gets easier with practice though, now I can even understand some of the noisy radio broadcasts of radioarkivo.org
