That's as good as anyone knows how to do in a test of ONLY what you're hearing, not what you're seeing, feeling, ...Rejecting DBT's in favor of sighted testing is simply wrong. Sighted testing has been shown, time and time again, to be sensitive to everything, including the color of the room, the food smell from the cafeteria ....
Humans are spectacularly good at integrating all senses, and do so even when they are trying not to. There is a huge literature on this issue.
You're right about the phrasing, it would have been clearer to say "arise from only what they heard".
That, of course, is defining "heard" in the sense of "received from the vibrations in the atmosphere", not in the broad sense of "percieved at the concious level".
