 As-Salaam alaikum,
  In verse/ayat 11 of chapter 42,Surat Shuraa of the Holy Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala says  about Himself :--



 "LAYSA KA-MISLIHI SHAY'UN, WA HUWA SAMI'UN 'I-BASIR - There is nothing comparable to Him, and He is all-Hearing, all-Seeing." (42:11)

The first part of the verse... There is nothing comparable to Him... describes the sheer incomparability of God that He has divulged and talked about. 
And the latter part of the verse.. and He is all-Hearing, all-Seeing.. completes and perfects that incomparability. Its clarification is this :
 Since the faculties of "hearing" and "seeing" abide in the Cosmos, and in man, it may give the illusion that these human attributes (of hearing and seeing) are similar to God's attributes of hearing and seeing.

To banish this idea/understanding, Almighty God denied the faculties of hearing and seeing in the created beings, so that the one who hears and sees is God himself. The 2 faculties (hearing and seeing) created in the created beings cannot complete or perfect the acts of hearing and seeing by themselves.

Man hears and sees by the power of God who creates the acts of 2 faculties and gave them effectivity or ta'thir which He can remove/withhold whenever He wishes.
