Reading or Listening Which one Do You Prefer ?

[Nevo Ifeanyi]

I love both reading and listening. Both helps me grow and develop psychological

[Ndumiso Mthembu 2]

I prefer to listen, sometimes when I read I feel I get too lost in whatever I'm reading that I'm not even sure what it is that I'm reading. So I always choose listening cause than I can focus more, and even my understanding is more thorough and precise

[Tyneshia Curtis]

I would say I prefer to reading. When listening I can lose my focus may go to sleep.

[Judy Burr]

I am semi-retired and one of the pleasures in reading books and listening to my audible books. I used to read a lot of books in jr high and high school. It is nice to have leisure time to read again.

[Judy Burr]

I have a lot of books on my shelf from my whole lifetime to reread. I am 71 years old and semi-retired. I say that I want to do this or that when I am old and my husband says 'get doing it!!!' Haha

[Marygrace Lerin]

I'd prefer reading more, since I'm more of a visual person. And my imagination would have different voices for the characters to distinguish them in my head.

[Mona Alves]

Reading just has more advantages to me, easier to focus and take notes, large variety of ways to read (physical book, on PC, on e-reader), which is very important since I can't stay in a same position for too long, plus it's nice to have the variety when I get headaches.
I mostly listen to audiobooks when I need to stay still or when doing a very mindless task, but I get headaches easily from audio stuff, so I don't engage much with audio.

[Miracle Chukwuneke]

I do both reading and listening because the nature of my work depends on that

[Asa Nylund]

I might listen to an audio book in the car, otherwise definitely reading. Except for poetry- listening to a RECITAL can be fantastic! But it has to be live

[Esther-David]

Good question. I prefer reading. My mind tends to wander when I listen to things. Also, I read and process information faster than if I listen to it. I prefer to listen to music while I'm reading too. I like instrumental music like classical or jazz, and I try to match it to what I'm reading.

[Jennifer Lissethe]

I always read and haven´t given a chance to listening as I made excuses to myself and get distracted. But I think I tend to retain more information by listening, so maybe I will try it in the future .

[Qwerty Writes]

I prefer reading over listening. It's hard to listen in all environments unless it's a classroom of some sort. Reading keeps me motivated and feel more alive and also makes me feel more creative. I don't dislike or don't listen to audio books, I'm just saying I'd listen to podcasts or something. But books triumph above all.

[Jacqueline Torres 2]

I’m an audible visual learner so I prefer both. Sometimes I follow along and listen while reading and other times I prefer an audible book.

[Brigitta Hegyi]

I like listening too, but after a time I can't pay attention. I think reading is better, it forces you to concentrate and use your imagination, more active than listening.

[Anastasia Atkinson]

I have an auditory processing disorder (part of my ADHD) so being able to comprehend what I'm listening to is really difficult. I don't retain as much information about what I just listened to so I stick to reading. I can have a hard time processing speech in a day-to-day as it ends up sounding like Simlish or random words strewn together that make no sense. I would end up getting frustrated if I listened to a whole book only to barely grasp what I just listened to.
