Anyway, on a serious note; what's the problem here? There isn't one, the only problem is simply people relying on their ears to the point that they trust their life with it, which frankly is stupid, if you want to survived, use both your eyes and ears instead, like other said about crossing the road, look before you cross.
Same concept go to cycling, you shouldn't just rely on your ears, as sound can be misjudged, look over your shoulder instead of listening, look at the junction properly instead of listening for tell tale sounds of motorised vehicle, etc.
There's your mistake, you rely on your ears instead of your eyes, problem solved.
don't you feel daft spending age writing this topic now?
