[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 508349, member: 11791"] Part of the behavior comes from burn-out. Unless YOU have had to deal with hearing/listening problems personally, you have no idea just how much brain power it takes to fight through any kind of "fog" and try to get the "message". After a while, the effort to "hear" is so great that there IS no brain-power left to process what is heard... even IF it is heard correctly. Things like personal FM systems reduce this load at school. At home... try to reduce background noise to a minimum, allow for extra rest (including after-school down time if needed), use written insturctions as back-up to verbal, etc. Mental fatigue is a huge behavior trigger... no matter the cause of the fatigue.
