I’ve noticed that Norma and Alias might be in another room making a racket between their buffalo herd chasing each other to knocking things over and crashing into walls. Theo doesn’t react to any of it. I don’t know if his hearing is really an issue- he’s always been a spacey cat in his own world. When I first adopted him I wondered if it was possible for a cat to be autistic. Still, if he has lost his hearing I could see why it would be even more stressful to have two strange cats in the house that can pounce/attack him with his defenses down.... Just a theory....

Both Binga and Boodie lost a lot of hearing as they got older.
Guess it is possible.
Some cats accept new additions more easily than others.

When he isn't looking at you, drop a pan lid on the floor behind him. That's one safe way I have read to evaluate a cat's hearing loss.( Unless you know that would just upset him more.)It could explain some of his reactions.

This is a book designed to present the aspects of autism to people dealing with it, but having dealt with both cats and elementary and junior high age kids it is truly informative,
It’s a possibility. Hopefully, he’ll come around.
