The brain, primarily. The ears are the organs that mediate our sense of hearing, but listening is really a function of the brain. Listening is attending to what we hear. Think of the popular term 'selective hearing'. You might hear a great deal of noise, talking, music and excitement during a party. But you may be listening to the person you are trying to converse with while putting the other noise in the 'background'.
