City and country
This is listening which is directed outward. It keeps us attuned to the world around us, to what's going on at home, at work or in the classroom.
Select everything that applies. Skip any that do not.
This is listening that is directed within. We use it to control our voice when we speak and sing and our eyes when we read or write.
The ear of the body, which controls balance, body movements, co-ordination and body image, also needs close attention.
Listening is also the ability to leave out, or protect ourselves from "noise", the information we don't need. Difficulty at that level is often related to behavioral and social adjustment problems.
The sensory system, and the ear in particular, are most instrumental in providing and regulating the energy we need to lead harmonious and fulfilling lives.
This knowledge sheds light on the possible causes of a listening problem.
A short summary of any relevant background, including any diagnoses, helps us prepare before we speak.
