auditory learner
Learns through listening
An auditory learner is someone who absorbs information most effectively through listening rather than reading or hands-on practice.
The concept comes from learning style theory, which categorizes people by their preferred input channel—auditory, visual, or kinesthetic.
An auditory learner might prefer lectures to textbooks, or read aloud to retain material: I'm an auditory learner, so podcasts work better for me than articles.
