I have only seen it used in the context of growing indifferent to something unpleasant, such as "...soldiers who are inured to suffering." I don't think I've ever seen it used to mean growing indifferent to something positive, such as "He had worked in the bakery so long that he had become inured to the smell of fresh baked bread."
