Noise. Mental noise (internal) and external noise. Sometimes people are too distracted or are in too much of a hurry to truly listen to what someone is saying. Some people tend to spend most of the conversation formulating their own response so have no clue as to what the sender is trying to convey. Others are inclined to let their minds wander and only hear selective pieces of a conversation. Others draw their own conclusions based on mental perspectives and never really hear what the speaker is trying to say. Then there is external noise which distracts and pulls the receiver away.
When one truly listens they rid themselves of external distractions. Then they patiently hear the individual out. They don't interrupt with questions, they don't try to formulate responses in their head, they just wait until the speaker has finished his/her complete thought. Then before a response is formulated they repeat back to the speaker what they thought they heard for clarification. Something like asking, " Now if I am correct, what I hear you saying is this." This permits both parties to come to an understanding of what is being said. Then the receiver can respond. That way there is no misunderstanding.

The biggest barrier to listening is predetermined mindset and viewpoint about the subject. Secondly the overconfidance on their knowledge level on the subject also leads to barrier to listening.
