Re: How are your Empathy and Listening skills? (yes, mando conten
I sense some blurring of the difference between "good listeners" and "bad hearers".
- "Bad hearers" are everywhere and, eventually, the majority of us past the teenage years IF you want to measure frequency response. Most of us adults have lost the top octave or three of the 10 octave hearing range (usually put at 20 - 20,000 hz). It's just the human condition. Plus, MUCH of the "emotion behind the words" is conveyed by facial expression and body language, beyond the sound itself.
- "Good listeners", aside from any "hearing" acuity, tend to exercise the muscles BETWEEN their ears, rather than IN their ears.
So I guess you can put me in the "hooey" column!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
