I did at night. A neighbor leined beautifully, super quickly but extremely clear. This morning I went to a leining that was at the perfect time for me and I just prayed that I was yotzei… he didn’t read very well and made many mistakes. I heard him loudly but he fumbled and mumbled a lot. I said the words myself when I could but even the trop didn’t sound right.

I follow with my finger, heard clearly,
And somewhere in the middle I space out
For a few minutes.
My DH says this generation has very bad attention spans and few can concentrate for 40 minutes.

I make sure to hear every word, and when my OCD kicks in I'll say the word to myself just in case.
If I totally missed a word I would hear megillah again. Like the year I missed the first word . It was still noisy and the baal korei just started out of the blue.

I try to. The reading goes really fast and I try to follow along with my finger on the place. I might jump past a paragraph when I see I lost my place and I try to recalibrate.

Does anyone know the actual halacha? Like if my ears heard every word but I was spaced out does it count?

The Mishnah Berurah (O.C. 690:48) writes that if one misses a single word, the obligation of reading the Megillah was not fulfilled. There may be a difference between men and women in this regard. The Rama (O.C. 689:2), based on Tosfos (Megillah 4a), writes that a woman’s obligation of Megillah is to “hear” the Megillah, not to read it. Mo’adim U’zmanim (2:170, quoting the Leket Yosher) extrapolates from this that a woman’s requirement is one of pirsumei nisa (publicizing the miracle). Therefore, should she miss a word during the reading of the Megillah, she has still fulfilled her obligation. However, the Mishnah Berurah (O.C. 689:1) indicates that women do need to hear every single word. Therefore, it is advisable that everyone follow along quietly with a Chumash, so if one misses a word or two, they can quickly read the missing words and then continue hearing from the Ba’al Korei.

We were brought up that we have to hear every single word, and if we dont, we have to say it.
So I used to literalllly follow along and say so many words in case I missed out.
At the moment as long as I can HEAR , Im happy. Ok with it.
I find it really hard to follow along.
I space out, lose the place, one year I mearly nodded off but I still heard it all so think Im yotzei.
