It becomes less notiveable/annoying with time, but don't believe anybody that tells you it goes away and you tune it out completely. You will always notice.

I "don't notice it" so much that I had to double-check on reading this thread that it's actually happening.

(No, not really. I am intellectually aware that it happens. But I can tell you that the only times in my life when I can remember being aware of the flash is in the context of discussions like this.)
