Here are ways on how we are "losing our listening" and how these negatively influence us:
Firstly is distraction. In the modern world, it is quite difficult to become focused on what we are listening to and the number one distraction that is common is using smartphones or cellphones. This keeps us from fully listening and the negative impact on this is that we lose focus. Secondly, pattern recognition. This is when someone only listens to some parts but never understanding the whole. And lastly would be filters. This would include attitude, culture, language, and even intention. People listen in a variety of ways.
Hope this answer helps.
