Gomez scored three goals in the 3-2 win over Reading to ease his side's relegation worries.
It made him only the second Spaniard to notch a hat-trick in the Premier League alongside Fernando Torres.
Since his arrival from Swansea in 2009, the 27-year-old has been on the receiving end of jeers from the club's fans.
However, he has revealed how this has only served to spur him on to greater heights.
"I'm used to it and it makes me stronger than ever. I can't say anything to them because they are free to say what they think," said Gomez.
"My last hat-trick was when I was a kid. I was 11 or 12 and was at Barcelona, so it's been a long time but I'm very happy to score a hat-trick and the team won.
"It's good to know that Torres and me are the only Spanish players to have scored hat-tricks in the Premier League and I hope there are more to come.
"Our aim is to take the team to the next level and not be suffering like we have in the last two or three seasons."
