The audio is fine, but don't feel bad. What you're doing is great, listening first and the reading.

One of the examples in the vocab section:
Te aconsejo que te laves los dientes despues de cada comida
To try to improve my listening skills, I cover these examples and listen first before looking at the text.. I try to understand the Spanish I hear and then repeat it without ever seeing the text.
Sometimes I am able to do this but many times there are vocabulary words I haven't learned or I am not ready for speakers speed. That should get better over time as my vocabulary and listening skills improve.
But I have problems with examples like this one where I am not hearing the speaker say exactly what is written. In the example above, it sounds like the speaker says "comina" not "comida". Would you tell me what you hear? Is the problem that (1) the speaker really says "comina" instead of "comida"; (2) some problem with the quality of the audio; or (3) my hearing is bad?
Eventually, I hope my listening skills are good enough that I would know the speaker means to say "comida" just by the context of the sentence? But for now, I really wish you would tell me what you hear when you listen to the audio of this example.

Hola Lora,
They mean the same, but "cabello" is use for human hair and "pelo" for animas hair.
Though is very common to hear people saying "pelo" instead of "cabello"
