Just as most individuals can focus theirs eyes, near or far, noticing details to a greater or lesser degree, so too can most individuals refocus their hearing to tune in or to tune out conversations. For example: If someone at a party choose to hear a conversation from across the room while choosing to tune out completely or even ignore a conversation nearby. So too can most individuals be subconsciously trained to tune out the sounds Ringing inn the ears bring, alleviating sounds they are no longer wishing to hear.
