Hear or pay attention? Nothing blocked my ears this year but my attention wandered big time. Some years I am better.

Unfortunately, as I am not well cannot go to Shul this year- I was read Megilla at home - yes- I heard every word.

I go to a women's reading in a house, all I hear every word. But I chose the second option because my attention wavers sometimes, so then I have to read to make sure I'm covered.

Hearing or paying full attention? I had no problems hearing, our rav reads always loudly and clearly and stops or repeats if necessary. But at the morning reading at one point my thoughts started wandering. It has happened to me often in past years as well. I wonder if others really hear every single word consciously and with kavannah. I can't be the only one who starts drifting.

I hear every word and follow along with my finger on the place. I concentrate on always having my finger at the exact word being said and that helps.

This, thanks for your honesty. I had a very hard time focusing this year. I’m also usually better.

I hear as in it goes into one ear and comes out of the other. I don't read along. I don't understand Hebrew so I don't follow along either. I'm just in the room and hear it. Yes I get spaced out many times but my ears hear it.

You can read along in English, or whatever your native language is. That's what I used to do. There's a value to understanding the story as part of the mitzvah.

How can I read along in English if I'm listening in Hebrew. I can't hear the Hebrew and read the English at the same time. You gotta be multi talented for that. I can't read so fast.

Normally every word, but this year, I had to run out of the room to throw up My husband was sick last week, I guess it caught up with me. I missed the last chapter and was so shocked about what happened that I forgot to read it to myself. I do feel bad about it but it was really a one time freak occurrence; I'm giving myself grace about it (even though vomiting in the shul bathroom is much less than graceful hahah)

When my attention wonders, I definitely don't hear every word. So I'm surprised people say they still hear every word (consciously) when their thoughts wander.

I listen. Do I freak out that I’m hearing every word no. I also space out sometimes. I don’t know why everyone is ocd about it. If you are in shul you heard it. No need to go insane like some people do. It’s such an unpleasant experience because of all those people. Like I’m scared to shuffle my feet lest someone freak out.

I've come to the conclusion that it's not possible for me to stay focused. I do my best and that's it. At least the sound goes into my ears. But My brain zones out. It happens other times too, like during conversations. Or davening. It's not something I do consciously, but when I notice I bring myself back.

I have learnt that as long as the sound goes into your ears (no loud noises or falling asleep) then it’s counted as ‘hearing every word’. No way could I concentrate and follow along for that long!
