Listening Glossary
Listening Glossary is a book published in October 2026 by Spiral House, an imprint of Silver Press. The book collects 217 historical and contemporary texts on listening. Entries range from non-cochlear listening and machine listening to interspecies listening, tracing six decades of sonic thought and experimentation.



Listening Glossary gathers hundreds of terms for listening, contributed by people from diverse disciplines and constituencies, including activists, artists, D/deaf and hard of hearing people, ecologists, educators, musicians, philosophers, psychologists, researchers and sociologists. Their entries take multiple forms, including personal narratives, diagrams, performance scores, theories and poems. The terms invite listening through another’s ears or from specific perspectives, and together, offer a practical guide to listening as a relational practice.
