Are you able to decipher what a speaker with a heavy accent is saying easily?

A medical transcriptionist may work with any number of physicians. Having a keen ear and being able to listen to and understand what someone is saying is a must. The interviewer wants to know that you have some experience in deciphering what someone is saying, even if there accent differs from what you are most accustomed to working with.

"I have been a transcriptionist for (X) years and have worked with physicians from different nationalities whose accents were varied. I have learned to minimize as many distractions as possible so that I can focus on what the speaker is saying on the recording and to replay anything that I am unsure of. If I am still unsure of what the speaker is saying, I will ask a coworker to see if they can help me decipher the speech. For the most part, I am usually able to understand different accents easily."
