How to Heighten the Sense of Hearing

When you heighten your senses, you can experience things in a much different way than you're accustomed to and sharpen your mind at the same time. With a heightened sense of hearing, you have the ability to hear things more clearly and at further distances. The following can help heighten your sense of hearing.

Instructions

• 1

  Relax your muscles. When you smile, the muscles found in your ears relax and you'll hear things much better. If you're frowning, you'll find that you hear less clearly.

• 2

  Spend time in silence. Many people desensitize their ears by always surrounding themselves with noise. Prevent this from occurring by spending at least an hour or more a day in a completely quiet place.

• 3

  Pay close attention when a person speaks. Listen for changes in the person's tone of voice, inflection or volume. You may need to close your eyes while listening to the person's speech.

• 4

  Listen to different types of music. For example, during a classical music piece, you should attempt to identify the instruments that play during different movements.

• 5

  Go outside at night. Night listening can heighten your sense of hearing. You'll focus your hearing sense better due to your sight limitations. Take a walk and listen to the different nighttime creatures.
