Does anyone here actually have positive results doing this? It seems to me listening to anything that's even remotely complex with the intent of learning it just isn't something that's feasible.

But just to clarify, do you listen to dense material on commutes or while on walks or are you listening and taking notes at a table or something?
That's my main point. As someone that doesn't have dyslexia, sitting at a table and taking notes while reading dense material is already quite difficult to do when I'm trying to actually learn the material. I couldn't imagine being effective in my learning by just listening while on an early morning commute or something like the promotional video shows.
I get easily distracted and lose attention while listening to an audiobook. This is usually problematic with fiction, because suddenly I don't know who this new character is or what's happening. And rewinding to the precise position where I stopped paying attention is of course much more difficult than in written text.
I found that non-fiction books work great for me, because even if you ignore a page or two it makes no difference, the author keeps repeating their point and propping it up with many arguments anyway.
