Listening Styles
Active Listening
It is when you listen to others responses all of which may be trying to change the way you feel about something. 
It's a process of sending back to the speaker what you as a listener think the speaker meant both in feelings and in context.

Paraphrasing the speaker's meaning, expressing understanding of the speaker's feelings, and asking questions are all ways that can improve the active listening style.
I try to improve my active listening by asking questions that will help me better understand the speaker's thoughts.
Empathic Listening
Understand the world through someone else's eyes.
Empathy can have a negative side, because if you show more empathy to people close to you in relation to racially and ethnically then you will show less empathy to people different from you.
-
People can improve their empathic listening by seeing things from the speaker's point of view, engage in equal two-way conversations, or also seek to understand both thoughts and feelings.
I would be improving my empathic listening if I was to step into the shoes of my patient and try to understand what they were going through.
Critical Listening
-
I can be seen critically listening when my friend tells me this story about a fish that they caught.
Critical listening can be improved by trying to avoid filtering out or oversimplifying complex messages, keeping an open mind, or even focusing on both nonverbal and verbal messages.

It will allow you to analyze and evaluate messages.
Polite Listening
Most people don't think we can show politeness through listening, but it is actually possible.
Some cases you may not want to listen politely especially if someone can be seen being verbally abusive.
Avoid interrupting the speaker, give supportive listening cues, show empathy with the speaker, maintain eye contact, as well as give positive feedback are all ways to listen politely.
If I wanted to show politeness to my patient, I would maintain eye contact while they are talking to me.
