To make a sensation, sound, or feeling less intense or less noticeable.
Painkillers deaden pain, thick carpets deaden footsteps, and habit can deaden a person's response to things that once shocked them. The word implies a partial loss of vividness or force rather than complete removal, so a deadened sound is muffled, not silent. It is related to dead, and the image behind deaden is of draining the life or sharpness out of something. Deaden covers physical sensation, sound, and emotional response alike.
