Explanation / Answer

An individual’s ability to perceive sounds, by receiving vibrations through ears, is called the hearing. Listening is something done consciously, that involve the analysis and understanding of the sounds you hear. The hearing is the primary and continuous in nature, i.e. the first and foremost stage is hearing, followed by listening and it occurs continuously. On the other hand, listening is temporary, as we cannot continuously pay attention to something for long hours. The hearing is physiological, which is through one of our senses in the living organisms. On the contrary, listening is a psychological (conscious) act. Hearing involves receipt of the message through ears. Conversely, listening encompasses interpretation of the message received by ears. The hearing is an inborn ability but listening is a learned skill. In the hearing, we are neither aware nor we have any control over the sounds we hear. On the other hand, in listening, we are aware of what the other person is saying and so we listen to acquire knowledge and receive information. According to Julian Treasure; listening is an expression of conscious intention, caring, and compassion for one another. If we take the time to truly connect and to listen, we learn far more than through any words that we speak. Effective Conscious listening according to him requires to be sitting in silence and paying attention to sound and try hard to unlock the hidden choir of the sound around us.Be appreciative and focused to listen effectively. Julian advises people to remember the word "hail." It stands for:Honesty. Authenticity. Integrity. Love. The H, honesty, is being true in what you say, being straight and clear. The A is authenticity, just being yourself. The I is integrity, being your word, actually doing what you say, and being somebody people can trust. And the L is love, (in the sense of) wishing people well. If we understand that every sound, every word has an impact and a response in those around us we start to become aware of the necessity of conscious listening. And we can take this awareness into every aspect of our lives, including relationships. Simply by being aware of where you’re listening from, the pace you’re using with your voice, the register of your voice and your intonation you can begin to become a more active listener and a more conscious speaker.
