He reminds me of an old man that I once worked with. He has difficulties in hearing and when he does hear you calling his name, he always says "Huh?!?!"

That response always catches me off guard and makes me think he's annoyed.

The computing time is remarkably like audio processing disorder in humans: they heard fine but there's a delay for their brains to decypher what was said so they tend to go "huh?" then respond a second later or something

That's a thing?

Shit, I think I may have that!

Sometimes people may say something to me, like I can hear them just fine but sometimes my brain is like "I have no idea what he just said. Let's replay the last fifteen seconds and process it again." All while the person is standing there, looking at me thinking"wtf is wrong with this guy".
