I love audiobooks, but I definitely wouldn’t be able to focus on one while driving. (Tried it a few times. It’s nope.)
I can only listen when I’m doing something that requires absolutely no focus, so either nothing at all, folding laundry, or while I’m eating.
As a person who’s not good at auditory processing in general, it was definitely harder in the beginning, but got a bit easier with practice. (But still, no listening and driving!)
It takes longer than just reading a written book, but often my eyes hurt too much, so the ears will have to take over. If I find myself zoning out, I rewind immediately. I don’t wait until I’m completely lost. If I zone out a lot, I stop listening and wait a few days until I’m in a more focused frame of mind.
