Hilchos-Rosh Hashonah [Hearing the Shofar]
Min H'Torah you have to hear 9 Kolus. We are not sure what is a T'ruah so we blow 30 (Shulchan Oruch 590 1, 2,).
You are Yotze the Mitzva even Midrabonon if you hear 30 Kolus.
The Minhag is to blow 100 Kolus.
Women or someone who is not well and it is difficult for them to hear all 100, need only hear 30.
If you didn't hear the Brocha you should make the Brocha yourself.
You should make sure to hear the whole T'kiya from the beginning (of the T'kiya) till the end.

If someone needs to eat before the blowing of the Shofar, they should make Kiddush. You should not eat more than a K'betzah of cake.
Even if someone eats they should only eat what is necessary to be able to daven properly.
Shofar is a Mitzva S'hazmam G'romo and women are not obligated to hear Shofar.
