When someone listening to what they are being told, chooses to interpret what was said to them to fit their current needs.
Mom: son do NOT play with the iPad anymore.
Son: OK Mom
Mom: son you are playing with the iPad again!
Son: yes, but I stopped for ten minutes when you told me to stop.
Mom: now that is interpretive hearing!
Son: OK Mom
Mom: son you are playing with the iPad again!
Son: yes, but I stopped for ten minutes when you told me to stop.
Mom: now that is interpretive hearing!

Get the Selective hearing mug.The act of listening to only the things a person wants to hear. This can lead to a complete topic change.
Matt: Yo are you watching this Rockies game? It's nuts!
Ben: uhh. I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work out.
Matt: (thinking to himself) Damn. That's some crazy selective hearing if I ever saw it.
