Is it me or are many people auditory-challenged?
I am one of those What?-saying men and I must confess it is partly a dominance issue. If you ask me a question and I answer immediately, you have controlled the encounter completely and I have been dominated. If I pretend not to have heard properly (must be your fault!), make you repeat yourself and all but beg for an answer, you have been dominated. The delay does allow me to do full auditory processing and think of a better answer, but I think dominance is the primary issue.

I'm a 'huh' person. Does this make me dominant? Or partly APD/ distracted/ disinterested / going deaf?
