Listening vs. hearing

Hearing is an incidental and mechanical brain’s reaction to sound that needs zero effort. As human beings in a developing country, we are always filled with noises and voices around us. We hear the sound, but we are not concentrating. We ignore such sounds. It is an involuntary action that is an effortless task.

On the other hand, Listening is intended and concentrated rather than random. As a result, it demands stimulus and action. Listening is engaged, concentrated, focused engagement for understanding the real meaning that the speaker wishes to communicate.

Listening is a voluntary act where the listener should pay keen attention to the speaker’s message. Not only listening involves direct involvement but also patience to give space and time to the speaker. In other words, while listening to a person, the listener concentrates both on verbal and non-verbal statements. Your capability to attend relies on the capacity to which you sense and apprehend these directives.

Do you know the difference between active and passive listening? Active listening is the conscious effort while passing listening is effortless. Active listening is voluntary while passive listening is involuntary. Active listening is a focused act whereas passive listening is a passive act.
