Sometimes we hear what we want to hear or don't hear what we aren't interested in hearing...

Haha - possibly but from time to time he hears things a bit differently. Hearing aids aren't magic.

@DocAndersen Certainly there is a certain amount of selective hearing.

It's not a real expression but because Vince is a bit deaf that is what he thought I said.

I have a hard time understanding people if I have my back to them so that could be what it was. Perhaps he needs more advanced hearing aids

Hearing aids are good but they don't solve all problems. I think I had my back to him which never helps.

His hearing aid doesn't always interpret things properly. It makes for some funny conversations sometimes.

@JudyEv true and sometimes even without a hearing aid and a regular hearing, we hear different words from what has been said.
