Are you only capable of hating one sound per ear at a time?

When you listen to music do you only hear drums and bass and can’t hear any other instruments?

Yeah, but 26 people in the audience, duh

You have 2 ears that provide spatial awareness. Surround sound allows you to hear things all around you.

When you are watching something and you can hear the on-screen characters’ dialog like it’s coming from right in front of you, while hearing sounds of the jungle setting that the characters are in coming from behind, beside, and above you, it’s pretty immersive.
