I do this all the time. I guess it depends on the person. There's this girl in my class that nobody can ever hear, and most of the time she's just trying to make small talk so if I can't hear her after two or three times of asking her to repeat I just smile and nod.
But if it's a teacher or my best friend or a parent and I get the feeling that they're saying something that I need to hear, I saying "what" as many times as I need to.
How many times do you feel it's acceptable to say "huh?" or "what?"
