I have to look away from the teacher to understand what s/he says. Looking in his/her eyes cuase me to have difficulty listening to him/her. I believe I focus too much at look at the teacher when looking in his/her eyes.
You're probably just more of an auditory learner. I wouldn't be sure, since I'm anything but, but I sometimes have the same problem if someone's talking while I'm reading, especially if they're reading aloud the same thing I'm trying to read. So yeah, it's completely normal.
I have this problem sometimes. When I look at people, I think too much about how their mouths are moving to understand them sometimes.
This occasionaly happens to me.... I just put my head in my arms and listen :) and te teacher asks me a question (trying to catch me out) and i know what to say :)
The brain works in mysterious ways...and it is CONSTANTLY working! Sometimes it is much easier to listen by closing our eyes. Not sure why, so I can't explain it scientifically, but I would have to say it has something to do with limiting and focusing your sensory intake.
I had the same difficulty, so what i did was started getting my focus on study instead of my teacher. Don't look at her/him, look at the board and just listen what they say. I believe study is more important. So focus..
