Reply to comment by NoHalfPleasures in New research shows why we hear “lemon” and not “melon” in processing incoming sounds: our brains “time-stamp” the order of incoming sounds, allowing us to correctly process the words that we hear by giuliomagnifico

Auditory processing disorder might be related to it. For me it's mostly just a big delay between hearing words and understanding them, and I'm thinking that delay might be caused by the brain struggling to determine which noises came first or something.

yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this is fairly common and the reason people will say "what?" first and then respond

I've also had a few times where I simply couldn't process what someone was saying & even after multiple tries it still sounded like gibberish to me.
