You would think there would be no need to study or to learn how to listen due to us having ears to begin with. I think Listening is more to do with the attentiveness of the mind rather than the ears themselves. So the aim should be to quieten the mind so that it can become ever more sensitive and conscious of all sounds and sights. Cheers Socrates!

I just wish people would entertain the wisdom of talking less and listening more - they would find that they will learn a whole lot more in life. If I have anything constructive to say I try to speak without superfluity, if not, then...
