If you've ever heard an overenthusiastic salesperson speak on a commercial or on the phone, the first thing you should do is acknowledge that they are talking about things you don't want to hear about. The second thing you should do is listen not to their words, but to the spaces between them. This may come from my musical background (I can vividly hear one of my teachers saying "Listen to the space between the music!!"), but when you listen to the spaces, the time it takes for them to take a breath becomes very distinct. Not only that, but you can also hear the breaths they take very well.
Listen to a speech, for example, and hear the breaths the speakers take. Soon, it'll be the only thing you can hear. And if you listen to it enough, it might start to bug you a bit...
