A hearer is a person who hears something. If someone speaks, the hearer is the one taking in the sound. Though actually, everyday English almost always says listener instead. Hearer sounds a little old, or a little school-like: people who study language like the neat pair speaker and hearer. You might also meet it in a story or a report — the hearers of the speech, meaning the people who heard it. It does not mean someone with especially good ears, and it is not the same as audience, which is a whole group that came to listen.
聽者（日常較常說 listener；課堂上常和 speaker 成對）
