What do you mean he doesn't hear well? When you speak to him, he doesn't respond?

Maybe the child is just distracted.
Have you checked for fluid or wax in the ears?

We did just a basic test so it could be more extensive testing will show something. He doesn't hear well and keeps asking everyone to repeat things.

There are tests that test the brain reaction to sound. It might also be fluid although I wonder whether the results would be good in that case.

A good audiologist will be able to diagnose this as well.
Op, get a thorough hearing test. One with tones only won't be enough (the standard block-in-the-bucket when you hear a beep).

You know what else? This might sound crazy, but sometimes people don’t hear well when they can’t see. How is his vision?

Yes!
I have this with my 4 year old. When he is well he can hear ok but for a month or so after every cold his ears are filled with fluid.
We just got him glasses and did notice an improvement- interesting point you made Genius I never would have correlated the two.

I was well into adulthood when I realized that while my hearing, objectively, is very good, even excellent (I hear all kinds of frequencies very well based on the routine tests I get at work), I have a hard time as a result understanding what people say--especially if there is other background noise. It's not uncommon at larger social events that everyone else seems to understand each other and I sometimes have no idea what someone is saying to me. Hearing so many frequencies so well means I have a lot of input for my brain to process and filter. So, it's exhausting to take in all my info by my ears--I have a much easier time reading it, or making notes while I'm listening to something so I read it. I also have taken to watching videos with subtitles/closed captioning on.

Google "hidden hearing loss". You describe it very well.

I have the same. Can hear many frequencies, but difficulty in noisy environments.
This is very interesting. Thank you!
