It takes more than what you've been giving it and for a greater length of time. When you hear nothing else you've got the knack. The next step is to be able to hear that sound in your head and everyone else you're playing with.
Practice hearing the trumpet in your head until it's so loud you almost wish it would stop. If you haven't been insitutionalized by that point, you've got it. No magic pills or easy solutions... just more and more of the same until music is something you can't get rid of, it's always there.
Good luck,
