How did Odysseus manage to hear the sirens without dying?

It was not hard to hear the sirens. He just listened, and could hear their sweet enchanting song. Sirens do not destroy men directly by their song; they sing and if the victim hears the song, they then try to get to the source by swimming and die of drowning or by wrecking their ship.In order to hear the sirens without being led to his doom, Odysseus was tied and bound to the main mast of the ship by his men. He warned his men of the Sirens and had them plug their ears with wax so they could not hear. When Odysseus heard the sirens, he begged his men to let him go, but they refused until he stopped struggling as this indicated the sirens could no longer be heard.
