Do you hear when you are listening to??

I can listen to music and hear someone talking at the same time; if that's what you mean. But to "hear" and to "listen" are very different things. We hear a lot of things; listening takes paying attention and actually registering what you're hearing. For example, in Chemistry class, I would HEAR my teachers' lectures but because I wasn't interested and didn't care about it, it would go in one ear and right out the other.

I always listen never hear!!

Nice discussion! I would like to believe that I am the kindof person you listens. Listening hasa benewfit - the benefit of never getting to forget it. Of course, I do hearstuffsaroundme like someone yelling, honking, fighting over no issueat all. I tend to ignore. I think that should be it.

hi dada

frankly confessing, many a times i try to do both. while listening to something, if my concentration is broken by someone or something then tend to lend a part of my ear to that too. in a person to person conversation i apologise and ask the person to repeat when i am unable to follow but at other times i find it difficult to comprehend all that i missed. then i can do nothing but to repent.

well, hearing something while listening is dangerous at times, because things might get mixed up in th mind and create some 'chemical locha', i mean some misunderstanding.

As a mother, I've learned to either focus in or focus out. Most of the time, when I'm listening to something, I give it my full attention. But, when my kids were young, I learned how to tune them out. They could be screaming and throwing a fit but, as long as I knew they weren't hurt and were just making noise to be heard, I'd ignore them and honestly didn't even hear them sometimes!

Even today, when I'm out shopping with my son and a baby is crying or screaming somewhere nearby, I tune it out and don't even hear it while it drives my son crazy. I think you have to be a parent to learn the fine art of tuning out anything you don't want to hear.

Yes, I do hear what I'm listening to. I'm just selective in what I listen to.

I get a good percentage of it but not all. Concentration isn't very good.

hi kraj

for me .. hearing is not listening but listening is hearing ..

when i am listening to something, meaning it is absorbed into my brains when i hear them

But when i am only hearing someting, it just flows in and out, as my dad always says it enters one ears and comes out the other without making a stop at my brains for absorbtion

cheers

Some people have the ability to focus on the one thing and listen to that intently and shut off everything else; my husband does that all the time when he watches T.V.; you have to tap him on the shoulder to get his attention otherwise you can talk all night only to have him turn around and say, “Whaaat?”

I can’t really do that; maybe it is the mother in me who listens to what’s going on but always has one ear out for the children.

True listening is an art that not too many people practice especially when it comes to paying attention to one another!

Hello my friend krajibg Ji,
I think, you are talking about concentration. If one listens properly then only one will not hear from any of one's ear. In another way, if one is hearing, one may not be able to listen. It all depends upon how one is serious and how subject is that much important to one. But i still think, there may be a scientific reason behind both, even one remains fully involved and in concentrate with topic.
May God bless You an dhave a great time.
