I have to admit, that is one thing I get accused of quite a lot! Constantly asking people to repeat what they said ... "What?"
I am so very guilty of that, too! The other thing, and it isn't something that I have any control over at all, I have tinnitus, it's multi-tonal, and I have 50% hearing loss in one ear, and 65% loss in the other. I tend to have my TV fairly loud, and I say, "What? a lot.
I have a 30% bilateral hearing loss and I have a difficult time hearing certain tones. My sister has been an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter for over 30 years and she is forever complaining because I haven't accomplished becoming fluent. I know enough Sign to communicate in an emergency. I swear, when she talks to me she whispers on purpose! When I ask her to repeat what she said, she Signs it! Needless to say, she gets 'flipped off' quite a bit! LOL
