This seems likely to me. The common saying is that "you hear what you want to hear", but I think more accurately it's "you remember what has meaning to you". Recently there was a study that even visual memory was tightly integrated with spoken language: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adh0064

However, there's a lot of variation in memory among humans. See: The Mind of a Mnemonist.
