The listener is the ear of the database. When you call the database at the start of a transaction, the listener hears the request and notifies the PMON process, which completes the handshake, linking you directly to the PMON process for the rest of the transaction. The listener then is finished and starts listening for another call.

The creation of the listener is OS specific. On NT 3.51, we use the ORADIM72 command from SQLDBA to create the service and listener. The listener specifics are created within the LIstener.ora file.

This is a very high level view of a listener, but with the little information you offered, I assume that is the level you were looking for.
