Two voices cannot enter one ear.

Two voices cannot enter one ear.

A person cannot listen to two people speaking at the same time and understand both of them.

("Two translators may not speak while one reads; you have a quarrel on account of the blessing, but this is because two voices cannot enter into one ear" – Jerusalem Talmud, Eruvin 5,3.)

Definition (Hebrew)

אֵין אָדָם יָכוֹל לְהַאֲזִין לִשְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים הַמְּדַבְּרִים בּוֹ זְמַנִּית וּלְהָבִין אֶת תֹּכֶן דִּבְרֵיהֶם.
