Honest suggestion, try getting used to listening to things at faster speeds. I started listening to podcasts at increasingly faster speeds, going from 1.1 to 1.2 and slowly increasing it. It only took a few days to a week of listening to slightly-too-fast-for-comfort content before it started sounding normal and I could bump it up again. Now the slowest I listen to is at 1.5 (going up to 1.6 or even 1.8 for my "filler" podcasts). Videos I can crank even higher, since the addition of visual content and/or subtitles can help process the audio information. I now watch half my videos at 2x speed, and 1.25 or even 1.5 are how 1.1 used to seem for me.
