So now you can tell the wife or others that you weren't ignoring them, you actually were deaf at the time.

“The brain scans showed that people were not only ignoring or filtering out the sounds, they were not actually hearing them in the first place, ” study co-author Maria Chait, PhD, explained in a press release. These findings suggest that our vision and our hearing share limited resources in the brain, which is essentially forced to choose between processing info from our eyes or our ears.

Also, this is why I turn down the car radio if I'm doing something intensive behind the wheel.

That is also why we turn down the radio when looking for a street sign or a particular address or building.

Hey !   

That's my line when I want to maintain anonymality.  Sheesh! 

Wife2 was a talker.  Before we started living together, she'd yak on the phone with me for an hour or more.  Every subject triggered another subject.  No "middle" to the conversations.  It was OK, it was all WRT mutual interests anyhow, but sometimes I had to sort of "force" an end to the discussion if I had something else to do.

After we started living together*, I developed the habit of mentally kind of recording what she was saying without actually listening to her, just responding with the usual "yes dear" kinds of responses while actually thinking of something else.

I don't know what you'd call that kind of multi-tasking skill, but it sure was handy.  I never got a "you're not listening to me" kind of kickback.

* We got married after a year of that.

I remember my grandfather. Old school Irish with the smell of peat still on him. Grandma would get too mouthy and he would say " shut up woman" and she would . No hysterics.
