Did you ever have someone say something to you and you don't catch what they said and you say, "I'm sorry?", or "Pardon me" and they repeat what they said in exactly the same volume, inflection, everything? Here's the deal. If I didn't catch it the first time, one of the following has happened:
a. You didn't speak loudly enough
b. You didn't speak clearly enough
c. Both a and b
d. I have a hearing problem
Now, even if "d" is the correct answer, the solution to the problem is that the speaker must change something in the way he said what he said. It is not icumbent on the hearer to "hear better" !!!!
