As a person who loves reading but recently has little time for it, I tried to switch to audiobooks. However, I keep catching myself losing attention while trying to concentrate on the audiobook. I find myself scrolling back on the recording to catch up on things I missed, and it’s highly frustrating. It puzzles me because I can easily read a physical book in a public place, but I can’t seem to listen to an audiobook in a public setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with audiobooks? Do you consider it a good alternative to a physical book when there’s no possibility or time to read a book?
I can listen while doing chores or at work. But listening to it in a public place, where sounds can overwhelm what I’m listening to, I find it much harder. Not sure if that’s a sign I need a hearing test or not, but apparently background noises making it difficult to hear is a sign that I do 😆
