Is this an idomatic phrase or does it simply mean hard of hearing?
Buongiorno, Kate.
Così vi chiamate, sento dire.
L'avrete sentito, ma siete duro
d'orecchio.
Chi parla di me mi chiama... Caterina.
In fede mia mentite, vi chiamano Kate !
E la gagliarda, talvolta l'indemoniata,
ma Kate !

It's the same in French: dur d'oreil. But we all know that French is copied on the Italian orginal. Just like English is copied on French.
