Hearing is sensing with our ears the words that are being spoken. Listening involves our other senses to help us understand the words being spoken. When we hear we do it using our auditory system. When we listen we involve our auditory system plus our cognitive functions: paying attention, remembering, thinking and reasoning.
Hearing is a series of events in which the ear converts sound waves into electrical signals and causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. 2  The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear.
