My son had selective hearing when he was growing up. He used to drive me mad.
If he's married he's now another body's problem. Reward comes to the patient!

I always thought it was selective 👂 hearing.
Actually, it is known as "industrial deafness".

The sound of a very loud dentist's drill combined with that of two tomcats fighting.

Just image James Blunt's voice and you'll know what I mean. Similar to some women's voices I have heard over the years.
 
What? Yes.. I'm listening......

Industrial deafness is just another form of selective deafness syndrome. The major symptom of this syndrome is the incapacity to clearly hear what is being articulated by the person in control. It is predominantly experienced by men over the age of 18.

“Men your age!” This has been an ongoing problem since 5th October 1976, became worse 26th March 1977 and has continued to decline. I’m now trying to teach him sign language. He understands drink and food, and that’s actually true!! 😁😁

If I whisper beer from another room my husband will say yes please. If I speak to him in normal voice, in the same room, he doesn’t hear what has been said. That’s the type of thing I assume your wife refers to as selective 🧏‍♂️
That was like my mum talking to us kids and then me talking to my kids :D

It has been suggested that I’m fluent in three languages, English, sarcasm and middle finger expressionisms. I’m not sure about the later but I have been told that my facials speak volumes 🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🖕
