When someone says something to you, you ask them to repeat it and still don't have a clue about, so rather than asking them to repeat again, you stimulate a variety of different responses such as;
Nodding your Head
Smiling and Looking at The person
Looking Down
Agreeing
Looking Concerned

This method of reply is often useful when speaking to people with strong accents, or old people.
