Distractions many may think are just the physical things going on around you, but mental distractions can be just as distracting as physical ones. One of the keys to listening effectively is by eliminating distractions. Active listening in the same situation happens but the words the listener is hearing are not just being heard but understood as well and the message the speaker is getting across becomes clear to the listener. Passive listening the person hears the words, but the information is not sticking.
Listening leads to learning.” Even within listening, there are passive and active listeners. Listening requires concentration so that your brain processes meaning from words and sentences.
Listening, however, is something you consciously choose to do. If you are not hearing-impaired, hearing simply happens. The University of Minnesota Duluth describes it as “Hearing is simply the act of perceiving sound by the ear. Listening is an acquired skill that needs to be tuned, but once it is acquired it can be one of the most useful tools you can use in school. Hearing is something we do all the time whether that’s the lawnmower outside or the roar of traffic on a busy day. That is the biggest difference between simply hearing someone, and listening to someone. Sometimes you’re talking to someone and what they are saying is so boring that you just start to tune them out, but as soon as they mention something that interests you, your ears perk up and you hold on to every word they say.
