You can't hear the 'e'.

You'll be surprised to know that there is another vowel in the word that you don't really hear: the first 'a'. Yes, there is a vowel sound, but it is the schwa sound, the sound that most unstressed vowels make. Schwa is heard with many unstressed vowels, whatever the vowel, and they sound virtually identical to each other.
