@studiousboy You’re exactly right!
People do listening tests when studying a language. The purpose of them is to see if a language learner can hear things in their target language accurately. They also help learners become more familiar and comfortable with listening to things in their target language.
The purpose of hearing tests is basically to make sure a person’s ears work correctly.
Sounds are usually played during hearing tests to see which ones a patient is able to hear and which ones they cannot.
Words and sentences are usually played during listening tests to determine what a learner heard and if what they heard matches what was played.

If you know the difference between the words “listen” and “hear”, then you already know the answer to this 😜

@bsloan7 Yes, I know the difference between those two verbs, but when talking about these tests, I’m not that sure. How about I try to explain them and you tell me if what I say is correct?
A listening test is about language, for example, an English listening test. So it is a language skill. A hearing test, however, is to test if my ears go wrong and can’t hear things. Am I right? 🤔

@bsloan7 So if I take a hearing test, I’m sure I’ll get high grades. But if I take an English listening test, oh no, I have to say I need to improve on that. 😂
Even though I know their difference, I’m still not sure which to use when I write some sentences. Because the difference between them doesn’t really show when I think about their Chinese meanings. 😂 So, I just now thought of these example sentences. Could you go over them for me and tell me if I choosed the right words?
1. I’d like to *hear* your opinion on this.
2. I’d love to *hear* what you have to say about this.
3. I want to *hear* what she did to you.
4. I want to *listen to* that song too.

@bsloan7 I can’t believe it! Thank you! Now would you look over them and tell me if all of them sound natural?
1. I’d like to *hear* your opinion on this.
2. I’d love to *hear* what you have to say about this.
3. I want to *hear* what she did to you.
4. I want to *listen to* that song too. (the context is someone is listening to a song by wearing his earphones, so I want to say #4 to him)
