How to use 听到
听到 describes the result of listening: the sound actually reached you. It works just like 看到 (kàndào) and 找到 (zhǎodào), where 到 marks success. Example: 我听到了你的声音。(Wǒ tīngdào le nǐ de shēngyīn.) I heard your voice.
听 (tīng) means to listen, and 到 (dào) means to arrive. When your listening arrives at its target, you have heard something.
Common mistake: Learners often use 听 when they mean 听到. 听 is the action of listening, while 听到 means you actually caught the sound, so 我没听 means you didn't listen and 我没听到 means you didn't hear it.
