Not exactly the same but this sort of filtering happens to me here in Lisbon. I have developed a Portuguese comprehension 'switch' that I can activate with relative ease. Perhaps learning the language later in life helps me with switching it on and off. On the flip side, it has heightened my listening ability in English, to where I pay extra attention when I hear English (my native language).
