The mixing of seeing and hearing points to deeper communication.
In the archetypal conversation, Netzach is the leader, the dominant. Netzach directs the conversation.
Our seeing can be controlled; we can shut our eyes, avert them, or focus them for close inspection. But we hear sounds whether we want to or not. The ability to focus hearing - to listen carefully, a trait everyone could seek to develop.
Netzach is associated with physical ailments such as kidney disorders.
