1-Hearing is the demonstration of seeing sound and accepting sound waves or vibrations through your ear.
Listenings are the demonstration or hearing a sound and understanding what you hear. Listening prompts learning.
Hearing is an automatic demonstration where you get vibrations through your ears. Listening is an aptitude that lets the sound you hear experience your mind to deal with its importance. When we hear, we use only our ears and do not pay attention or analyze what is happening. However, when we listen, we pay attention and analyze what is being heard since we involve our brain.
For example: when walking on the streets, we can hear the cars, people talking, dogs barking, birds chirping, but that is just our surroundings. We don’t analyze what’s going on compared to the siren of an ambulance, a person calling our name, or a friend having a conversation with us.
2- According to Shafer and Krukowski, space and sound have a similarity. They believe that the sound and music that surrounds us are produced by emotion and often by noise. For Schafer, sound can come from the culture and environment that surrounds us. It can also reflect the things that happen to us and what we hear around us. Schafer also talks about the correct way to give an argument so that another person can understand. So well, it explains the clarity that our writing must have so that it is easy to interpret. However, Krukowski is based more on technology’s changing the relationship between space and sound. He explains that social interactions within space are becoming less accessible due to technology. The use of technology is causing us not to use our sensory systems, preventing us from enjoying the things surrounding us. With technology being part of our daily lives, it facilitates that all our time is consumed by it.
I agree that hearing is merely an automatic inflow of sound waves going into your ear while listening shifts the order of priority inside your mind of what you hear with your ears. This is when analysis of stimuli is possible. Our brains also have a quicker response to some sounds more than others due to conditioning of cues/triggers such as having your name called, or having an intimate experience with an auditory stimulus such as a veteran with war PTSD. With listening there is a sense of curiosity and almost anticipation as opposed to mindless passivity.
