Someone who hears you but isn’t actually listening or gives a shit. They will nod and act like they care but have hardly a clue of what you said. People who “listen” to you talk but just so they can respond and they like to hear themselves talk. Similar to lip service but with your ears. Pretending to listen.
“Hey did your girlfriend tell you about her doctors visit?”
“Yeah but I had to give her ear service cause she wouldn’t shut up after 15 minutes.”
