Thus, both may be perceived through the ears, but there is a great difference between the two words. Hearing is just the perception that there are sounds going through the years while listening is analyzing the part of sounds and understanding their meaning.
Therefore, it can be noted that hearing is generally the penetration of the sound to the ears which cannot be understood, while listening is both penetration of a sound to the ears that can be meaningfully understood.
