Have you ever had a hearing test? It may be time if...: General Health

Reasongs to get a hearing test:

You feel like you are surrounded by a bunch of people who mumble all of the time
You are frequently misunderstanding what people are saying
Family and friends are complaining that you have the TV volume way to high
You have to strain to hear in a noisy background

I have selective hearing. Luckily nobody has realized they always have to ask me to turn the TV up yet though.

I always hear people when they're trying to be quiet, but when they're talking right to me my first response is almost always "eeh?" in a Mexican sounding accent.

I know somebody who does the same thing, except for his word is "huh".

I know someone, too, who always says HUH!?! all the time!! My husband!! He hears what I say, but says huh anyway!! It's a habit he can't break. Oh well, I just decided when he says something to me... I just say HUH!?!? back to him.

I can't figure out why guys have to say "HUH" even when they heard what you said!!!

I have a theory.

We're not as fast as you women are. It takes us a second to process what you just said. Especially if we're already focused on something else. If we take to long to respond we get an ear full of "are you listening to me" or "did you hear me", so we've developed the "eh" or "huh" reflex to buy us that extra second to figure out what the heck you're talking about.
