It’s driving me crackers.

Me: Cup of tea?
DH: Er hm uh mmm

Me: Shall I collect the kids today or you?
DH: Mm yeah

It’s resulted in some extremely irritating miscommunications over the last few years but however arsey I get he still doesn’t respond with a simple YES or NO

Arghhhh

My DH does this. It's not my hearing as the kids comment on it too, he just doesn't speak properly so all his words run into each other. It's infuriating.

Could you have hearing issues OP?

Well, he has zero issues responding clearly when it’s a friend/colleague.

I used to say that. Then whilst travelling we listened to something on the radio about hearing loss which really resonated. You can do a simple hearing check online through RNID. I now have a hearing aid!

Could you also please tell my dw not to talk to me as she walks into another room, or when I am downstairs and she is up and not to get the hump when I can't hear her!😂

Are you sure you don't need your hearing checked?

My mum says I mumble. I don't, she just can't hear and won't accept it.

Or her hearing checked.
