Wiffy always critiques my listening skills: for my part, in common with many men, I think that I am not permanently listening to see if someone is trying to talk to me. This means I often miss the start of conversations. Clearly I actually have lazy ear, having had loads of ear infections as a youth.

Lazy Ear. eh?
I’ll bet it’s not so lazy when you get offered a pint though?
Thank you – I’ve been looking for this explanation for years. I have always described myself as “hard of hearing” or “cloth-eared”, but it’s never been about an inability to hear sounds. The problem is that I can’t parse them quickly enough, and need to repeat the start of each conversation. Never had any ear infections though, that I can recall.
