Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 5
Many police officers tell me that they did not hear their vehicle's sirens or the sirens of other emergency vehicles during their deadly force encounters. One California park officer told me how he tuned out the sounds of a helicopter hovering overhead during his gunfight. This is probably happening in the brain, rather than as a mechanical mechanism in the ear, and is the equivalent of aural tunnel vision as opposed to an aural blink.
