Can You Turn Your Ears Off?

 

Are you good at tuning out the noises around you, or does everything seem to distract you? Are you able to sleep through loud noises, or are you a light sleeper? Even if you’re able to stay focused or stay asleep during a lot of noise, did you know that your ears are continuing to hear and it’s actually your brain that stops receiving the sounds? So next time your wife says you need to do a better job of listening to her, you can inform her that you hear everything she says! (Or maybe don’t… That might not go over well.)

So, can you turn your ears off? No, no you cannot.
