My (24F) boyfriend (23M) wears a gaming headset all day and doesnt take it off when Im talking to him. Im so frustrated

24F and 23M. Together for 3 years, living together for 2, we both PC game alot and I have no issue with that, we also both work from home on our computers. 90% of the time, he wears a headset with youtube or music playing whether hes working or not, and sometimes I try to talk to him, ask him something either in the same room or the room next to him and every single time I'm met with "huh?" "huh???" "what?" and he still doesn't take his headset off or pause whatevers playing to try and hear me the second time. It is getting increasingly aggravating to repeat myself every single time I speak to him that Ive snapped a few times and said "take your headset off!". Sometimes it takes 3 goes for him to hear me. When someone speaks to me and Im wearing one I move it off one ear at the bare minimum so I can hear them.
Ive voiced how frustrating it is a million times and please instead of "huh" atleast ask what I said. I could be standing right next to him speaking and he doesnt take it off or pause it and says what.
I guess Im asking what the heck you do in this situation because I feel like a mother trying to communicate with my teenage son on his xbox or something lol.
TL;DR, Boyfriend wears gaming headset all day and cant hear me and hardly ever removes it forcing me to repeat myself everyday for over a year. Im frustrated and want him to listen to me.
