I suspect we (human) are very bad at hearing, computers already are doing are much better jobs than us. However, I suspect for most our communication, we do not actually hear the conversation -- we guess the conversation. Only when evidence such as facial response or out-of-context words is caught then we actually try to hear. Even then, we are still trying to second guess.
Computers cannot compete with our guessing ability, not until they are trained with our life experiences.

My vote is for the auditory nerve as the inflection point. Anything above the cochlear nucleus on the auditory pathway is black voodoo magic and anyone who claims they understand it needs to reevaluate their kool-aid intake.
