he claims to have not heard when I ask him to make a cup of tea face to face.
When my husband and I are talking in one room, he shouts an answer from the other room.

both men and children are the best at the selective hearing thing. Whisper all the time this works for me with my partner- you can tell he has heard as he has a wicked smile on his face. so you can continue with the conversation!

This is called selective hearing. They only hear what they want to hear...or not supposed to hear. I really don't know of any medical reason, so I think it makes sense. Lets face it, haven't you learned to just tune some people right out because you get sick of listening to them???

See a doctor. He is a professional and can give you an answer.
