Which is the correct, natural one(s)?

1. [Saying to a doctor] I sometimes can't hear anything. [What case do I in? or What case do I have?]
2. His short height made it hard to see the parade.
3. Zebra's stripes make it hard for its enemies to see it.
4. He arranged (for) the timetable in a manner that left the afternoons free.
5. When you called me, I [sat, was sitting] for (the/a) math exam.
6. The boy felt his tummy/stomach growling for food.
7. You were speeding. Let me show your licence. / No way. I got nowhere near 60 miles an hour. / Yes, but the speed limit here is 40 miles.

Thanks.

Sorry for the title and the question sentence!

Please check if they are all OK and natural!

I think I'm beside myself!

Oh! Not always!
Just tonight!
I'm sane usually!

2. His short height made it hard for him to see the parade.
3. Zebra's stripes make it hard for its enemies to see it. (OK).
4. He arranged <strike>(for)</strike> the timetable/schedule in a manner that left the afternoons free.
