sonic shut-off
Definitions
1. it's a person trying to stop the energy wave of sound.(5110CMOlB)
2. sonic shut-off may be quite selective: the individual may be able to hear sounds but not voices. Selective shut-offs are caused both by charge on the case and by selective sonic shut-off commands, such as "You cannot hear your wife," or "You pay no attention to me."(SOS, p. 66)
