Answer:
The process of listening can be broken down into several stages, each critical for

Receiving/Hearing: This is the initial stage where the listener physically hears the
sounds or words being spoken. It involves the sensory process of perceiving auditory
signals.

Filtering: At this stage, the listener selectively focuses on certain sounds or messages
while ignoring others. This filtering process helps manage the vast amount of
auditory information we are exposed to and prioritize relevant messages.

Understanding: In this stage, the listener interprets and makes sense of the sounds
and words received. This involves decoding the message, comprehending the
language, and understanding the meaning behind the words.

Remembering: Effective listening involves retaining information for later recall. This
stage ensures that important details are stored in memory, allowing the listener to
recall and use the information when needed.

Evaluating: Here, the listener critically assesses the message, considering its content,
context, and credibility. This involves analyzing the message, forming judgments, and
determining the significance of the information.

Responding: The final stage involves providing feedback to the speaker. This can be
through verbal responses, non-verbal cues, or both. Effective responding
demonstrates active listening and helps to confirm understanding or clarify any
misunderstandings.
