The Six Steps to Learning Words

Based on these 2 example sentences they both seem to translate to 'hearing' as a noun. Where's the nuance in there that gives rise to 2 usages?

Thanks for pointing this out, Jason. I changed the translation of the second sentence to "My (Chinese) listening ability has issues." In the context of language learning, your "听力" is your listening comprehension (aka, the most difficult part of language acquisition!). That said, I'm making a note to improve the sentence, because "我听力有问题" is too broad, it should be more specific.
