This happens to me a lot! My husband uses physical cues to help me focus, like putting a hand on my shoulder.

This happens to me from time to time. I ask people to either slowly say the first word from the sentence or part it to syllables.

often I ask people to repeat themselves and they repeat the part of the sentence I /did/ understand and then I get impatient

I just hate when they get mad and say "nevermind" and refuse to say what they had to say. That usually happens after the second time, it's the worst

Asking them to text it is brilliant, thank you. Do you have suggestions for a teacher trying to process what a student is asking in a busy room?

I do that automatically tho 🥲 I nod and say yes and look interested and afterwards I realize I didn’t actually listen to a single word… 😮💨

Yesss! ‘Auditory learning’ is a no go for me. I hate having to ask folks to repeat several times & STILL not grasp it.
