However, "opposite" can be interpreted in different ways. Here are some other possibilities:
* Silence: This is the absence of sound, which is the opposite of what hearing perceives.
* Ignoring: This is a conscious choice not to pay attention to sounds, even though they are present.
* Misunderstanding: This is the opposite of interpreting sounds correctly, even though you can hear them.
It depends on the context of what you're looking for!
