Understanding the difference between hearing and listening is the key to understanding how your brain works. From my understanding, there are four modes of hearing and listening when experiencing music. These four modes are known under the term called Quatre écoute, which is French for ‘Four listening’. Ouir, the first term is when you are capable of hearing but we are not paying attention to the sound. Entendre is when we are aware of the sound, ready to listen to it. Ecouter is when you are…

Throughout the first year of this course I can say that it has not been what I expected. I was hoping to improve myself in many various fields and although I did sense some improvement in certain areas I still felt like there is a huge amount left I have to learn, comprehend and understand. We always hear about the importance of first impressions when meeting anyone for the first time and I feel this even more important when meeting a patient. So as I approached the doorstep of my patient one…

a Q tip too far in. Well I am going to tell you about the time my little brother stabbed a screw driver in my left ear. I almost had to have surgery but good thing my ear healed on its own, because if you have surgery on your ear it could lead to hearing lost. The doctors also have to take a little piece of skin from behind your ear to put into your ear. They might also have to cut open your ear so they can see what they are doing, and it doesn’t look pretty after surgery. It was spring night…

means that a lot of animals said mean things to you. Are you sure everyone said those things to you?” the voice asked. With his head hanging down, Fledge softly answered: “My mama and papa rabbit don't say mean things.” “It must be all the other mean forest animals that tease you.” the voice said harshly. “No wonder you are so sad and afraid.” “Only one animal does” answered Fledge. The voice questioned, “Does this animal not know that you always try to do what your parents ask? Does this…

It is important to focus your attention on the speaker and the topic because if you don’t, you will allow yourself to become distracted. In active listening, focusing on the speaker and topic will help improve communication in the organization. I would avoid any disturbances when focusing on the speaker and topic whether it’s becoming distracted by my own thoughts, another listener, or from any technical devices such as phones and other gadgets. It’s important to set aside your own…

One assumption about listening that was confirmed throughout Mr. Smith’s speech is the idea of “Informational listening which is the attempt to comprehend the message of a speaker” (Rothwell 164). Throughout the whole speech I was mainly focused on the ideas that Mr. Smith presented about listening. Some of the new insights about the power of listening that I have discovered throughout this speech is that sometimes you need to pay attention to what is not said in conversations. Hence, silence…

That iconic piece of equipment that hangs around all physicians necks that gives them a professional aura. We all know what this is, it’s the stethoscope. Have you ever wondered how doctors listened to their patients lungs and heart before the stethoscope was invented? How they made accurate diagnosis without the essential stethoscope all healthcare workers use today? Before the early 1800’s physicians didn’t have a tool to do this. They would place their ear next to the patient's chest and…

As soon as the referee called my name, I forced myself into an aggressive mindset and stepped into the fray. At first glance, I could not comprehend how my burly wrestling opponent was even in my weight class. A stocky junior with the body of a tree trunk stared straight into my inexperienced freshman soul. Immediately after the whistle blew, he dove for my leg. I sprawled back and blocked his arms, successfully barring this move. I knew I had to counter quickly and aggressively. He cautiously…
