This document discusses the difference between hearing and listening. It provides definitions for each: 1) Hearing is the physical ability to perceive sound through the ear and involves vibrations being detected by the ear and converted to nerve impulses that are sent to the brain. A person who cannot hear is considered deaf. 2) Listening is an active process that requires concentration and involves paying attention to the speaker, deriving meaning from what is heard, and providing feedback. It is a key part of the communication process. 3) Some tips for active listening include stopping talking, showing interest in what the other person is saying, avoiding distractions, not jumping to conclusions, and giving feedback.

4. Different between hearing and listening
Hearing :--- Hearing is one of the senses of a person and it is the
ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations through an organ
such as the ear.
In hearing, vibrations are detected by the ear and then converted
into nerve impules and sent to the brain.
A person who is unable to hear has a condition know as deafness.
Hearing occurs even in sleep, where the ear processes the sounds and
passes them on to the brain, but the brain does not always react to
the sound.

5. Different between hearing and listening
Listening:-Listening also known as ‘ active listening ‘ is a technique used
in communication which requires a person to pay attention to the speaker
and provide feedback.
Listening is a step further than hearing, where after the brain receives the
nerve impules and deciphers it, it then sends feedback.
Listening requires concentration, deriving meaning from the sound that is
heard and reacting to it.
Listening is a process of communication, where if the person is not listening
it can cause a break in communication with thoughtful attention: give
consideration.”
