Ask HN: How do you increase your listening speed without losing comprehension?
I now listen to podcasts at ~2.7x with extreme silence trimming and I can't seem to break past this speed level.
I have to slow it down to 2.4x for speakers with even minor less-familiar accents.
I'd like to get to a general 3.5x speed if possible, although hours and years of practice have still left me at my current plateau.
I am not a blind person (they can comprehend speech at incredible speeds). I'd like to be able to do other things while listening at high speed (e.g. walking or doing dishes).
