| Phrase | hearing |
| Text | The word "hearing," in this podcast, means one's ability to detect and understand sounds: "Karen has very good hearing and can understand what people are saying even when they whisper on the other side of a large room." The "hearing-impaired" are people who do not hear well: "Rajani is hearing-impaired, but he isn't deaf." When talking about the law, a "hearing" is a special meeting where the judge learns more about the case and determines how it should be handled: "Dress well for the hearing. You'll want to make a good impression on the judge." Finally, a "hearing" is also an opportunity for someone to present or explain his or her position or opinion: "Did you feel like the moderator gave you a fair hearing, or was she biased toward your opponent?" |
