Oh? 

"verb. mon·i·tored, mon·i·tor·ing, mon·i·tors 
verb. tr.
1 -To check the quality or content of (an electronic audio or visual
signal)
by means of a receiver.
2 -To check by means of an electronic receiver for significant content,
such
as military, political, or illegal activity: monitor a suspected
criminal's phone conversations. 
3 -To keep track of systematically with a view to collecting information:
monitor the bear population of a national park; monitored the political
views of the people. 
4 -To test or sample, especially on a regular or ongoing basis: monitored
the city's drinking water for impurities. 
5 -To keep close watch over; supervise: monitor an examination. 
6 -To direct."

I think "listening" makes more sense. Unless you have some authority or
responsibility that I am
unaware of.
