That the deafness to gun shots was not acting

That the deafness to gun shots was not acting was demonstrated by the steadiness of the subjects' blood pressure whenever the gun was fired.

Hello,

Could anyone paraphrase the words in blue?

Does that mean the subject didn't sense the gun shots? This is my understanding from the logic, but literally I think it means the subject heard the sound of the gun shots.

Thanks!
