habituated
No longer noticing
Habituated means accustomed through repeated exposure, no longer reacting strongly to something once novel or disturbing.
Animals become habituated to human presence; people become habituated to noise, discomfort, or routine: After a month, she was habituated to the early hours.
The word implies adaptation rather than active enjoyment—tolerance more than preference.
