On hearing and listening.
They are very different things
Some people might have amazing hearing, but are not very good at listening, to either what they are listening to, or saying.
This is really important for audiophiles, and, for everyone in general in order to live a meaningful life.
Great hearing is of no value if one can’t listen...

Oral or aural pleasure, take your pick. You can hear without having to listen - for example, if you’re sitting in a cafe reading the news, you’ll be hearing what’s going on around you but not listening to it (I.e. actively paying attention to it). A part of your brain always is though - if someone says your name, for example, then often that registers despite you not listening for it. The reverse does not apply - you can’t listen without being able to hear. An analogy in the visual domain would be being able to see vs watching. |
richopp Taught "Listening Skills" classes at my company for many years. Hardest class to teach advanced professional scientists, programmers, and engineers, I found. Along with "Logic" classes in college, this is a skill that is no longer taught, OBVIOUSLY, given the state of this country right now. We also used to teach Civics in High School, and it had a large unit on Propaganda. Evidently not being taught any more, either. >>>>Uh, how so, Professor? |
