Hearing is the action of registering sound with your ears. Listening is inferring meaning and content with your mind. I can hear you fine, but I'm just not listening.

The difference between listening and hearing is the same as the difference between looking and seeing.

Hearing is one of the five senses of a person and it is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations through an organ such as the ear. Listening also known as ‘active listening’ is a technique used in communication which requires a person to pay attention to the speaker and provide feedback. Listening is a step further than hearing, where after the brain receives the nerve impulses and deciphers it, it then sends feedback.

Listening is listening to the words of what the other person is saying. Hearing them is to understand what it IS they are actually saying.

Listening means you are actually concentrating on the sound being made and comprehending it in your brain.
Hearing something is the same as listening, except with less concentration.

When you listen to some one you understand that person and therefore you guys are on the same page, but when you hear them its that simple you just heard them. But listening isn't always easy it takes time, you have to think, and you have to reason with what that person is saying.

All sounds within the range of your auditory ability is heard. It is not registered until you make a conscious effort to hear what is being transmitted. It then is registered with your understanding. In other words, when your brain computes. The sound is then deciphered to as to its meaning only if you are listening.

Listening is the active process of receiving and responding to a spoken message while hearing is the ability to percieve sound by detecting vibrations, changes in the pressure of the surrounding medium through time, through the ear.
