Is it better to read a book or listen to it?

This is exactly why I avoid audiobooks - especially for works I’ve already read. I’m not able to turn off my inner voice(s), and listening to someone read to me using a single voice for everything is very irritating. I’ve found descriptions of works recorded by an entire cast, but that seems like going to a play and looking at the back of the seat in front of you instead of the stage. If the work was an actual radio production, maybe it would be easier to enjoy.
