I am one such "auditory thinker". Despite learning to read music from a young age and a lot of practice, I have never been able to sight-read music. I do however have a good auditory memory and I have always been good at playing music from memory, even compared to other musicians. Perhaps counter-intuitively most classical musicians are "visual thinkers" and are very good at sight-reading and less good at playing by ear.
