hello sena, smile
the trouble is, is that some can do that some can't.
I knew someone that could keep track of multiple things at one time, I went
over to visit this person, they had a t v show on, the radio, was singing a
entirely different song from either of the first two, had a book in there
lap, and was knitting, and keeping track of it all, I can't do that, its one
thing at a time, and tend to only be able to focus on the loudest or most
prevalent thing in my hearing range.
I might be able to keep a track on the transducer inducted and ear picked up
items due to the difference between the two, but I'm not even sure on that.
each person can handle different things, so I don't know...
