Benefits Of Listening To Audiobooks

Gives the Eyes A Break

Most Americans spend hours upon hours looking at various types of screens. The near-constant use of smartphones, combined with television watching, takes up most of our days. Everywhere we look, our eyes are assaulted with bright colors and flashing lights too, including neon signs, street lights, and outdoor holiday decorative lights. In a world like that, it is crucial to engage in something that gives the eyes a break from time to time. Listening to an audiobook allows a reader to enjoy the story without the eyestrain that can accompany reading in print or on an e-reader. Time spent on an audiobook can provide a rare moment to close one's eyes against the constant barrage of light and color and sink into the soothing darkness behind the eyelids. What higher form of relaxation could there be than to be whisked away on the wings of a great story?
