it means they hear what they want and forget the rest

it means you hear only what you want to and the things you don't hear you chose not to.

It isn't a medical condition, it is just where you aren't listening well. your mom wants you to pay more attention to what she says.

It means that you only select what you want to hear.

Your mom yells at you to do the dishes. You don't hear her, its a slang term for you only listen when you want to.

You hear what you want to hear and ignore the rest. Usually means you are not paying attention to what she is trying to tell you.

So Simple it means you hear what you want. Can I have ten points now...

It means you only hear a portion of a conversation or a story that you want (subconsciously) select. People use it as an informal insult to tell another person that they simply missed the point.

when you only tend to listen to things that you want to hear and don't really pay attention to the rest of what is being said to you

it means you only hear what you want to hear

It means you hear what you want to hear. It's a sarcastic way of saying you don't listen or you only listen to things that benefit you. Example if you are having a conversation and your mom said 'clean your room and then you can go to your friends' and you didn't clean your room and later said 'I didn't hear you say I had to clean it, you just said I could go'. Thats selective hearing.

Selective hearing means that you only hear what you want to hear. (Usually something that benefits you only). She probably thinks that you tend to purposely ignore certain things, and only pay attention to the things you want to hear. Some people do actually choose to hear what they want to hear, rather than pay attention to everythin. I hope this helped.

selective hearing is when u are hearing only words u choose to hear. For example. your mom says you can go to your friends house after u clean your room and you only choose (in your brain) to hear you can go to your friends house.

its when u HEAR things but only LISTEN to what u want

You only hear what you want to hear.

Selective hearing is are you ready, It means you hear only what you want to hear and not what is actually being said.

It just means, you hear things that you weren't meant to hear and didn't hear something you were meant to hear. Say your mother said she wanted something but you don't remember her asking for it, but at the same time you heard your mother tell someone else that she wanted something else and didn't want you to hear to hear it but you remembered hearing it and repeated it to her at a different time and she knew that you never told you about it.
Don't worry about it, she was being sarcastic about something.
