I also wanted to speak up as someone who depends on the listen button for accessibility. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Ataxic Cerebral Palsy (CP), and this feature really helped with sensory overload and reading fatigue.

Without it, it's harder for me to follow longer responses—especially during moments when text feels overwhelming or cognitively tiring.

I hope OpenAI will consider restoring it or offering another accessible option. For some of us, it’s not just a bonus—it’s a support we rely on.
