Subjective Listening

Subjective listening is the process of interpreting and personalizing sounds based on individual perception, emotions, and prior experiences. Unlike objective listening, which focuses on factual details, subjective listening involves personal judgment about the meaning, tone, or significance of what is heard. It can be influenced by mood, context, or background beliefs, affecting how someone perceives spoken words or music. This approach highlights the personal, interpretive nature of listening, recognizing that different listeners may experience or assess the same auditory information differently based on their unique perspectives.
