I swear, my dog tunes me out more often than not.

I guess you could call it selective hearing. He doesn't always listen to me. I don't know if he's actually going deaf or not, or if he just simply chooses not to listen to me. Whatever the case, it gets difficult with him now. He's getting on in age and is starting to have more trouble getting around, but he still deals with it. I know he hears some things, when I ask him if he wants to go out, his ears will perk up, and when I ask him if he's hungry, the same thing happens. But there are other times when I want to take him out where he ignores me. And when he's out in the backyard, he wont always listen when I tell him it's time to go inside. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse.
