There is a real difference between Hearing and Listening
Hearing takes place when something disturbs the atmosphere and that disturbance takes the form of pressure waves that strike our ear drums as sound. It's the way we perceive sound. Listening is different. It expands on hearing when we pay attention to the meaning of what we hear. For example, a truck just rolled by on the road in front of our house. I heard the noisy rumble, knew what it was, and after that paid no attention whatever.
Communication is the conerstone of all successful relationships.
