If there is a jury trial and an objection is sustained how do people on the jury dismiss what was said? Can one put that comment aside?

As the saying goes: you can’t unring a bell.
A good judge will make it clear to the jury that the evidence should be disregarded, but the jurors are still human, and you can’t unhear something. So it impacts opinions, in fact that’s the point. I’m sure most lawyers know when one of their lines of question or arguments will be objected before they even say it.
