Listening is different skill and provides different information than vision. It is not as specific as vision in identifying the location of objects. By listening, you can’t always identify the exact location of a sound, such as which lane a car is in. You may be able to hear a car coming from your left, but not be able to pinpoint which lane of the street it is traveling in. In addition, a louder car can mask the sound of a closer one that is quieter. Sound also can be shadowed by objects, poles, and buildings and may not be as audible in one location as another.
