Could this explain my "hearing" if I pause before saying "I beg your pardon."?

bc hearing challenged thinks it's brain damage also.

One of the interesting phenomena in hearing is that of turn-off (it can be done in a gradual enough way that the turn-off edge doesn't introduce a lot of high frequency components). A tone is present, but humans give no indication of hearing it *until the tone is stopped*. Then they say, "Oh, I WAS hearing something".
Hearing is tricky!
