What sound do you hear

Audition Listening Hearing
I can discern at least three parts to our human aural process. I assign words to keep them clear in my speaking and writing. Audition is what happens when our ears pick up a sound; Listening is what we do to a sound, including attempts to understand it, grasp it, control it, and assign meaning to it; Hearing is when we take it in, assimilate it, make it part of us and us part of it.
