The London TIMES today reports :

" DEAF TO THE WORLD

Scientists have discovered why we go deaf when absorbed in a visual task. Researchers asked ten adults to play a game, while brief sounds were played. They found that players brains tended to register a lower signal when they were concentrating harder, " Journal of Neuroscience " reported.

Nilli Lavie, Professor of Neuroscience at Univercity College, London, said : "Unintentional deafness is a common experience in everyday life, and now we know why." "



I hope that this helps.
