Answer 1

Question 4.

According to Julian Treasure, there is a marked degradation in the quality of communication in th recent time. According to her, this can be understood in terms of a wide parity between the experienced elf hearing versus the experience of listening.

Most of us are involved in mere passive reception of sounds without actively acknowledging it, as a result most of us forgetting how to listen. Listening involves making meaning out of sounds. Strategies such as savouring the sounds around help to improve our listening skills. Savouring involves enjoying mundane sounds in life which can help us to finely tune our ears and attention to the variety of minute sounds and can therefore help sharpen our attention towards even the most little sounds.
