Wonders 11 - Connections

An ear that listens ,
An eye that sees --
Hashem made them both.
Mishlei 20 : 12.

Why do link these two together in one verse ? What is the connection between listening & seeing ?
The Gra explains that Hashem created us with the ability to hear so that we learn Torah shebaal peh the oral law , & with sight to study the written law.
That is why Hashem created us with two ears & two eyes to study His two forms of teachings. But only one mouth , because we should limit our speech.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
