1.) Hearing and listening are not the same. Hearing is the process in which sound waves strike the eardrum and cause vibrations that are transmitted to the brain. On the other hand you have listening which occurs when the brain reconstructs these electrochemical impulses into a representation of the original sound and then gives them meaning. Hearing is automatic, but listening on the other hand consists of several stages. When listening, one first needs to hear the message, then attend to the message.
