THE VALUE OF LISTENING
What is the value of listening? -Did you know that we spend more time in listening than we do reading, writing, or speaking? 40% of our communication time accounts listening. -Through listening we learn to anticipate the action of others and to gauge their emotions

Delayed Feedback: refers to those oral; auditory, or visual signals received after the speech has been delivered like those sound of applause or boos, clapping or stamping or written evaluations from instructors.

Factors that interfere with hearing: Distracting noise in the environment, audio sound are too loud or too soft, or illness, hearing loss.
Listening: on the other hand, is the cognitive process whereby people attach meaning to aural signals. After sound waves are translated to nerve impulses by the middle ear , they’re sent to the brain for interpretation.
Barriers to good listening If we are going to improve our listening skills we will have to remove these barriers from our mentals habits
a.) Passive listening- many of us are just plain lazy listeners, hoping that the speaker will be
