You are not alone. I retain nothing I hear from audio books, I never use my imagination and I get frustrated because I know I can read faster than the narrator can speak. I've tried speeding up audio books, but often the narrator sounds strange.

I'm the same way with instructions for things. Give me the paper or book and I'll figure out how to use everything. Show me how to do it and I won't remember much of anything.
