Interesting. I didn’t know the selective hearing has a name. This doesn’t work for me, so I tend to give up on conversations after a while when I’m in loud environment. 🤷♂️
Same. It it’s important, I’ll try to lead whoever I’m trying to talk to somewhere quieter.
I’m glad to have helped you learn a new term! I never did like the phrase “selective hearing.” It implies that we have a choice in the matter, that we are opting to “selectively” listen or not. Although that might be the case for some people, I personally strain to listen but just can’t filter out irrelevant noise. So it bothers me when someone calls it “selective.”
