There are some studies. I don’t remember the specifics but it’s something like 50/50 on hearing and seeing and about 20 percent do neither. I’m sure those numbers are off, but that’s vaguely what i remember reading.
This is so fascinating! It’s easy to assume most people experience things the same way while we are all different all the way down to how we think and imagine stuff!

What do you mean by seeing? Like they don’t see images in their mind?
We don’t.
I definitely see images, but not specifics. For example, I can see my wife’s face, in my mind, but I can’t draw from that memory.
Like I am seeing the images from a distance, but if I try to focus on a detail, the image falls apart.
Some people do. Many of us don’t.
