Earsighted
Earsighted is the curse of only hearing what you want to hear, like your friend's loud laugh, but not your wife's loud complaints.
'I heard the loud music from the bar, but I didn't hear you yelling about the mortgage.'
'I heard my buddy's phone ringing, but I didn't hear my wife telling me to take out the trash.'
'I heard the kid next door screaming, but I didn't hear my wife screaming at me.'
