Studies reveal that listening efficiency is no better than 25 to 30 per cent. Why?


The listening becomes ineffective and its efficiency is no better than 25 to 30 percent because of the following reasons.

(i)    Mistrust or looking per “hidden meanings”.
(ii)   Clash of priorities among speaker & listeners.
(iii)  Different social or educational background.
(iv)  Lack of shared vocabulary.
(v)   Emotions (anger, fear, frustration).

The possible reasons may be some of the cultural barriers. Secondly sensation and perception means heaving (the reception of stimuli by the sensory organ, the ears) is not the same as listening, where the mind and memory are engaged in receiving, selecting, organizing interpreting and storing information from the stimuli.
