I've taken to saying "uhhhhhh" with a stupid expression on my face until I've processed the sounds / their meaning
Huh?
This is how it is for hard of hearing & deaf ppl whose brains are lagging as they piece together whatever just got said
My main problem is I can't just ignore individual sounds. I either take everything in or ignore everything, and the latter is even difficult for me. I need time to sort through the information when people speak.
Where I'm from, it's proper to say "Pardon?".
"Hey if you have auditory processing issues, you're a freak"
Cool man
