Verywell.com properly gave the difference between them which I'll briefly explain with samples.

HEARING:
+ Inactive - the sounds of the market women calling for buyers as we pass through the busy market.
+ Involuntary - we can't help it, perhaps some have memorized more music by hearing than listening.
+ Requires no effort - what isn't important to us does not require much effort.
+ Physiological perception of the sound - great! The hearing function of your ear is intact

LISTENING:
+ Active: Intentional and interested. When a spouse talks to another about low points in their lives.
+ Voluntary: We are keenly drawn into it. Going to a professor for mentorship.
+ Requires effort: Why do we get tired of a very long class, the energy giving us effort to pay attention and listen is gone.
+ Intentional interpretation of sound: This is driven by the desire to understand not just to give a reply.

While many of us in today's world is very much distracted from listening - the focus of this post is not to discuss the challenges. I won't fail to mention the top-rated ones
+ Gadgets
+ Listening to anxiously give a response rather than understanding.

Summarily as a bonus, they can be converted to one another.

We could be hearing a conversation and begin to listen to all of a sudden when they start discussing some financial figures.

We could be listening to a lecture and soon after end up hearing for several reasons till the end.

Have a good night.
