Listening is the active process of receiving and interpreting sounds, particularly those that constitute speech and communication. It involves more than just hearing; it requires concentration and engagement with the speaker's message. Effective listening includes several components: 1. **Hearing**: The physiological process of perceiving sound. This is the first step in listening but alone does not constitute effective listening. 2. **Understanding**: Comprehending the message being conveyed. This requires cognitive processing to make sense of the words and ideas.
