How do you identify inversions by ear?

To identify inversions by ear, you can listen for the lowest note in the chord. If the lowest note is not the root of the chord, then it is likely an inversion. Additionally, you can listen for the overall sound and the intervals between the notes. Different inversions will have a distinct sound and different interval patterns compared to the root position.
