Description
Distant Whispers allows the recipient to hear sounds at a much greater distance, and with greater clarity, than normal hearing would allow.
Effects
The recipient's hearing isn't actually enhanced by this effect.  Instead, the sounds themselves are mystically divined (so long as the recipient can comprehend the sounds).

Notes
Because the sounds are directly divined, the recipient is not overwhelmed by massive sensory overload.  He can pick and choose which sounds to key in on within the area of effect.  Typically, this would require some other sense or a period of time "searching" through the available sounds in the area.
There are several simple effects which can block this paradigm.
