I wish that worked for me. Instead, I've gotten used to hitting that 30sec rewind button!

"okay, let's concentrate. we've been at this timestamp 3 times already. this time i'm gonna listen real hard!"

20 seconds later; lost in thought.

5 mins later: "goddamit. it happened again. 😠"

it's so ridiculous.
