Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Mortality rate, or death rate, is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1,000) in a population of 1,000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population, or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from "morbidity", which is either the prevalence or incidence of a disease, and also from the incidence rate (the number of newly appearing cases of the disease per unit of time).
In the generic form, mortality rates are calculated as:

  
    
      
        d
        
          /
        
        p
        ⋅
        
          10
          
            n
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle d/p\cdot 10^{n}}
  where d represents the deaths occurring within a given time period, p represents the size of the population in which the deaths occur and 
  
    
      
        
          10
          
            n
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle 10^{n}}
  is a conversion factor from fraction to some other unit (such as multiplying by 
  
    
      
        
          10
          
            3
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle 10^{3}}
  to get mortality rate per 1,000 individuals).
