My father cannot understand British accents at all. He needs subtitles to watch movies with British actors. This is 100% legit. He refuses to watch British comedians because he can’t understand them in the slightest.

He once was invited to lunch by a British friend named Bob, and my father took me as a young adolescent along to interpret for him. Bob would speak and I’d have to repeat his words in an American accent for my father to understand.

He’s a lifelong musician who learns to play new instruments just by hearing others play them.

But I suspect you’re not far off, I think he’s missing frequencies from ear damage and tinnitus. So interpreting accents is hard when voices fade in and out.
