I can and often do skip the whole “hearing the text I’m reading” thing, but tend to enjoy slowing down and turning it back on for engaging, complicated, or fun texts. I also have a bad habit of skimming text instead of reading it if it’s both boring and I’m not hearing what I read—I still get enough to decide whether or not it’s worth remembering, just not enough to always recall it outright.
