Selective hearing

When you're in a zone and you're only able to hear what your mind is focused on. Others think you're ignoring them when they talk but the truth is they failed to gain your attention first.
My wife swears I was ignoring her but I have selective hearing, my attention was on the TV and I was completely unaware she was talking to me.

hoarding

In India, hoarding also refers to an advertising billboard. Given the big size of the billboard and because it "hoards" the attention of the audience, it is called a HOARDING. Hoardings are found in cities, on tall buildings, roadsides etc. They are the most effective way of outdoor branding and advertising. Given the size of a hoarding it is easily noticeable and leaves a lasting impression on the mind of the viewer.
