I have two simpler solutions; one I am implementing, the other I have always used. The solution I am implementing is simple; go deaf, the solution I have always used is "ignore one's surroundings." The latter was learned as a child growing up in a chaotic environment. The former may be a consequence of the latter but is more likely simply a consequence of genetics. Funny how a "handicap" becomes a solution. Well these solutions are probably of no use for you, but they work well for me.
