What is the difference between a physiological barrier and a psychological barrier to listening?

What will be an ideal response?

Physiological barriers to listening involve a biological factor that reduces one's ability to sense/hear a message (e.g., hearing disability). Whereas a psychological barrier involves engaging in other mental tasks that reduce or filter our ability to listen (e.g., boredom, preoccupation, strong emotions). In physiological barriers one might not be able to sense/hear a message, whereas in psychological barriers one can sense the message but might not understand or evaluate it appropriately.
