Listening and Hearing

What are the differences between listening and hearing?

According to dictionary.com Listening is defined as the effort to hear something and paying attentition.. while Hearing is defined as the faculty or sense by which sound is perceived or the act of perceiving sound..

Recently, I have do a research on types of listening mode and there are 3 types of Listening mode and let me introduce it to you..

1) Competitive or combative listening (it is one of the term used in our human comm class called AMBUSHING) -this happens when you are voicing out your point of view rather then listening to others and understand them. We listen openly to others to find other ppl's weak point so that we can attack.

2) Passive or attentive listening -this explains that we are more interested in hearing others and understanding the others point of view.

3)Active and Reflective Listening - In active listening we are interested in understanding what the other person is thinking, feeling, wanting or what the message means, and we are active in checking out our understanding before we respond with our own new message.
