How was the song? Did you find it entertaining? If you listened to the rhythm
of the song, you are just hearing it, but if you listened to the message of the song,
you have the potential of being a good listener.
This time, we will learn the difference between listening and hearing, its
importance, purpose, benefits, and some tips on to become a good listener. So, let
us do it!
Hearing vs. Listening
Hearing is an accidental and automatic brain response to sound that requires
no effort.
For example, we are familiar to the sounds of siren of the ambulance, the
laugher of our friends, the rattling of pots and pans in our kitchen, and so on. We
hear those incidental sounds and we train ourselves to ignore them, unless we have
a reason to do otherwise. We learn to filter out sounds that mean little to us, just like
we choose to hear our ringing cell phones and other sounds that are more important
to us.
Listening, on the other hand, is purposeful and focused rather than
accidental. As a result, it requires motivation and effort. It is active, focused,
concentrated attention for the purpose of understanding the meanings expressed by
a speaker.
Why Listen
There is no doubt that effective listening is an extremely important life skill.
Why is listening so important?
Listening serves a number of possible purposes, and the purpose of listening
will depend on the situation and the nature of the communication.
1. Begin by listening carefully to the main idea so that you can identify the
subject.
2. Listen for key words to help you remember details. You might want to take
down important words. If you are listening to a narration or description, try to
visualize the details. If you are listening to an exposition, try to understand the
order behind the arrangement of the detailed sentences.
One way to remember the important details in a text you are listening to is to
pay attention to the discourse markers.
Benefits of Listening

people conveyed virtually all knowledge through some combination of showing and
telling. Below are some benefits that you can get from listening.

Here are some of the indications that information viewed is accurate and true.

Compare it with multiple sources. Are the information or facts presented
present in other sources? If the information is the same in multiple sources
