"Hearing aid" is a slang term for "lip reading". Also knonw as "speechreading", it is a communication technique of understanding speech by watching a person's lip movements, facial expressions, and gestures, which can be enhanced by any residual hearing. It's a skill used by many people with hearing loss but also by the general public in noisy environments to aid comprehension. The technique is not foolproof, as many sounds look alike on the lips, and a complete understanding relies on context and other clues.
At the crowded café, I had to rely on my hearing aid—you know, lip reading—just to catch snippets of the conversation over all that noise.

Get the hearing aidmug. A mental disability when a depressive person who has been through bad things in the past and is very emotional now has to live with "hearing things" that sound like actual humans or things that nobody hears BUT THEM Assata N'finitee Oakes - You're welcome, Just know you're not alone.
This girl in highschool came up to me as her friend telling me what she thought people was saying to her going crazy whole time she was hearing voices.
Her momma fixed breakfast and since she virtual, she took her a lil break and ate. She "THOUGHT" her dad said hurry up and eat so you can go back to class". But later that day her dad ACTUALLY SAID " you got time to eat but you aint got time to wash them dishes". The voices tried to set her up, that wasn't her actual parents she heard it was the voices and sometimes it sound like your family members or real people, and whole time its not. The majority of the time is based on negativity.

Get the Hearing Voicesmug. Selective hearing refers to the way people only hear a part of what someone is saying — often, it's what they want or expect to hear — and miss out on the rest.
This tends to cause conflict, riffs and miscommunication in relationships.
It is also very annoying and RUDE.
