Can you hear me?

A man in his late sixties suspects that his wife is going deaf, so he decides to test her hearing. He stands on the opposite side of the living room from her and asks: “Can you hear me?”
No answer.
He moves halfway across the room toward her and asks: “Can you hear me now?”
No answer.
He moves and stands right beside her and says: “Can you hear me now?”
She replies: “For the third time, yes!”
