Is reading aloud by someone else still not reading?
I would argue that you are still understanding a written message but the delivery medium is different.
(Wired vs wireless analogy but data is the same)
I can at least agree that audio dramas are different than reading.
If someone reads it to you, they are reading. If you're listening to them read it, you're listening.
