I try to avoid asking a subject to "listen to my words". Some subjects will do better if they just relax and don't actually "listen" to your words. I almost always suggest that they "listen" to my voice, as well as "feel"-ing it inside them, relaxing them, as it slowly becomes the only thing in the world they need to pay attention to.
In contrast, I tend to suggest that they continue to relax and notice that they can "hear" all of my words no matter how relaxed they become and that they can "feel" how each of my words seems to make them relax even deeper the more they listen to my voice.
Lately, I've also been pointing out how pleasant and relaxing my voice is, as well, telling subjects that soon just the sound of my voice (and their calm steady breathing) will be all that's needed to carry them down into a deep, comfortable trance.
So by contrasting "listening" and "hearing", one can turn the entire issue into a non-issue by using the concept to help induce trance, especially in more analytical subjects.
