hearing
Courtroom testimony session
Hearing is the sense by which sound is perceived—one of the five traditional senses.
It also names the act of listening: Give me a hearing before you decide.
A hearing is a formal proceeding where testimony is taken: a congressional hearing, a custody hearing.
Within hearing means close enough to hear: Don't say that within hearing of the children.
Hard of hearing describes partial deafness.
