Have you tried mixing audiobooks with their ebook/paper variant? My neurospicy brain can only process a book if do both at the same time :)
I read much fast than i hear. Isnt that annoying for you?
Oh yes, right.
Oh, of course, I listen to 1.5-2x speed, depending on the narrator.
I read much faster than I hear, but I'm ALWAYS doing something else when I'm listening to audio, which slows down my brain's ability to process words, even if it's something mindless like cleaning. So it works out.
And as others have said, I generally will increase speed, usually up to 1.3x or so is my sweet spot.
