Application Paper: Listening I decided to do this activity with my fiancé. I asked him what was on his mind as of right now and he said our wedding. I casually asked him what he was thinking about and if he could tell me more about it. Colton and I from the start, have always been great listeners, especially when we are talking to each other. For the most part, his reaction was positive. He is so excited for the day to come. His only concerns were time and money. A typical response for anyone who is planning a wedding. I found this activity extremely helpful. It made me conscious of my nonverbal cues as well as my overall listening abilities.

It was hard to just sit back and listen on a subject that’s so important to my fiancé and I. I stopped myself from saying anything just by listening.

This did happen while talking with my fiancé, but since we’ve talked about it so much, I felt like I was still able to listen to what he had to say and fully grasp

Even with cochlear implants, I often times unconsciously rely heavily on lip reading when talking to a person. Throughout middle school and high school, I found myself explaining over and over about lip reading and how I depend on it to help me. I wasn't sure if the teachers or students understood but I was proven wrong when I went on my Schlitterbahn senior trip. Because of the water, I could not wear my implants and this meant I would have to depend heavily on lip reading.

In Aaron Copland’s “How We Listen” Copland addresses the “three planes of listening,” sensory, expressive, and musical. Copland digresses onto the topic of the sensuous plane and described it as, “the simplest way of listening to music.” So then, wouldn’t every initial earful of any song be filed under the plane of “sensory”? Mindlessly tuning in, but consciously checking to see if the pros outweigh the cons, so that one can determine whether or not it’s worth another listen. He then projects onto the “expressive plane” and explains that individuals attempt to tie the known, to music.

Reflection on the 5-Days Journey to Become a Better Listener Throughout the 5-days practice of active listening and basic attending skills in daily conversations, it was easiest for me to practice empathy. I found it easy to perceive the situation through others’ eyes and perspectives in order to capture the accurate meaning when I was nonjudgemental and listened attentively to others. As a result, I was able to develop empathic rapport in which I accurately sensed and understood others’ concerns as well as feelings as compared to when I conversed without empathy, allowing my presumptions to affect my interpretation of others’ meaning due to the need for others to agree with my worldview. Besides that, I was able to practice basic empathy, which is the second level of empathy where I paraphrased
