The Listening Checklist

A Tool to see if You or Your Child Has a Listening Problem

Adapted from Appendix B, When Listening Comes Alive, Paul Madaule, Norval , Ontario , Moulin Publishing, 1993, pp 191-192.

We cannot “see” listening. The only way to “get at it” is indirectly – through skills that are related to it in one way or another.

This checklist offers a catalog of abilities, skills or qualities that will enable you to assess whether you or your child has a listening problem.

Developmental History

This knowledge is extremely important in early identification and prevention of listening problems. It also sheds light on the possible causes..

a stressful pregnancy.
difficult birth.
adoption.
early separation from the mother.
delay in motor development.
recurring ear infections

Receptive Listening

This is the listening that is directed outward. It keeps us attuned to the world around us, to what’s going on at home, at work or in the classroom..

short attention span.
distractibility.
oversensitivity to sounds.
misinterpretation of questions.
confusion of similar sounding words.
frequent need of repetition.
inability to follow sequential instructions

Motor Skills

The ear of the body, which controls balance, co-ordination and body image, also needs close attention..

poor posture.
fidgety behavior.
clumsy, uncoordinated movement.
poor sense of rhythm.
messy handwriting.
hard time with organization, structure

The Level of Energy

The ear acts as a dynamo, providing us with the energy we need to survive and lead fulfilling lives..

difficulty getting up.
tiredness at the end of the day.
habit of procrastinating.
hyperactivity.
tendency toward depression.
feeling overburdened with everyday tasks

Expressive Listening

This is listening that is directed within. We use it to control our voice when we speak and sing..

flat and monotonous voice.
hesitant speech. weak vocabulary.
poor sentence structure.
overuse of stereotyped expressions.
inability to sing in tune.
confusion or reversal of letters.
poor reading comprehension.
poor reading aloud.
poor spelling

Behavioral and Social Adjustment

A listening difficulty is often related to these:.

low tolerance or frustration.
poor self-confidence.
poor self-image.
shyness.
difficulty making friends

If you or your child has any of these characteristics of a poor listener, you are not living up to your potential.
