Fixed

Does the verb 'to fix' make sense in this context:



"As I walked in the parking garage, my ears (or I) fixed on the sound of the my high heel shoes being deflected from the top (or ceiling)."



Note: By 'fix', I mean I paid attention (or made my ears be focused on that).

Fixed is okay but there are a couple of minor problems elsewhere:


As I walked in the parking garage, my ears (or I) fixed on the sound of the my high heel shoes being deflected reflected from the top (or ceiling). {Deflected means "turned aside;" "reflected" means "sent back in the opposite direction."}
