So, I’ve noticed something kind of weird but not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else experiences it. Sometimes when others talk to me, their words become sort of muffled or scrambled in my brain and I can’t work out what they just said to me. I can hear them perfectly fine, but I don’t know what they actually said and sometimes can’t even work it out after they repeat themselves more clearly.
It’s only an occasional ‘blip’ on my part, but it’s so embarrassing when it happens. I mean how do you explain you’re not deaf but sometimes don’t understand plain English?
My hearing is fine, I’m also usually looking at their face or at least their mouth when this happens, not that I can really lip read or anything lol.
*or your mother tongue, if you’re not a native English speaker.
