Wisdom that liberates is not knowledge itself but moving beyond this. Some practice utilizing hearing simply hearing clearly. Like before hearing arises, how is hearing?
One wisdom or three wisdoms?

It’s eye blinking.
Re: One wisdom or three wisdoms?
We still get lost in delusion due to habitual pattern of beginingless time.
That is indeed correct. We listen, then think, and then meditate. That meditation is with vipasyana. That is one way.
That is also correct. Mere listening would also generate wisdom. Let’s suppose that somebody explains the dharma (for now nature of impermanence). At the end of his/her teaching, we have clearly understood it; we have got no doubt; our behavior has completely changed; we would understand all phenomena with this new insight. We could regard this wisdom through listening. This wisdom comes from others’ insight, from their contemplation. It is not by own effort of meditation. This division (listening/hearing, reflection/thinking, and meditation) is based on its entry point.
Just opinion
