Which of the following can adversely impact the process of listening?
AExcess of listened material, that is, message overload
BA very high speed of speaking
CA good amount of hearing loss
DAll of the above ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) All of the above
Explanation
Listening is impaired by all the listed conditions together, so every factor can hinder it.
Message overload, too much material to process at once, exceeds the listener's attention capacity.
A very high speed of speaking outpaces comprehension and leaves the listener unable to keep up.
A good amount of hearing loss physically reduces the reception of the sound signal itself.
Since each condition genuinely disrupts listening, none can be left out as harmless.
Such obstacles are studied as physiological, physical and psychological barriers to effective listening.
