Heard Half of the Shofar Blast

Question

On Rosh Hashanah, during the shofar blast, there was a loud noise, and I didn't hear the end of the blast. Did I fulfill my obligation?

Answer

It is obligatory to hear the entire shofar blast from beginning to end. Therefore, if there was noise during part of the blast, you must hear it again. Even if the part you heard contains the measure of a full blast.
