    The same way he avoids killing the whole world every time he sneezes. It's called "self-control" :-)

The DC Wiki states that "He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency." Since he is able to focus on particular sounds, Superman can just focus on the sounds in his immediate area, and therefore only have to process nearby goings-on. Superman also has a very strong will and large intellect, and so would be much less overwhelmed by a large intake of information than normal humans.
