 Difference Between Hearing & Listening…
Hearing:
o Hearing is simply the act
of perceiving sound by
the ear.
o Hearing occurs with or
without your consent
Listening:
o Listening is an action where
you choose to actively
concentrate on what you
hear.
o In listening your brain
processes the information
into knowledge.
“Listening is not the same as hearing and hearing is not the same as
listening.”
What is Listening?
The process of receiving,
constructing meaning from , and
responding to spoken and/or non-
verbal messages; to hear
something with thoughtful
attention.
What are Listening Skills?
Listening Skills are
the ways to help you
listen something
more effectively.
Importance of Listening Skills
oAn attentive listener stimulates better
speaking by the speaker
oA good listener learns more than an
ordinary listener.
oA good listener learns to detect prejudices,
assumptions and attitudes.
oCommunication is not complete without
effective listening.
 Types of Listening…
oDiscriminative Listening
oPretense Listening
oSelective Listening
oAttentive/Active Listening
o Discriminative listening- It involves identifying the
difference between various sounds. It also enables one to
differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar language.
o Active Listening-Active listening is a communication
technique used in counseling, training, and conflict
resolution. It requires that the listener fully concentrate,
understand, respond and then remember what is being said.
o Pretense Listening- It involves more hearing than listening. It
means pretending through facial expressions that one is
listening when actually one is not.
o Selective Listening- It involves selecting the desired part of
the message and ignoring the undesired part of the message.
Effective Listening…
Effective/Active Listening Is Actively Absorbing The
Information Given To You By The Speaker, Showing
That You Are Interested.
It Can Also Include Providing The Speaker With The
Feedback, By Asking Relevant Questions So The
Speaker Knows The Message Is Received.
In active listening, it is important to learn, to
summarize and reflect smoothly, without
appearing to mimic or repeat back in a robotic
fashion. Useful phrases are:

saying is ...."
