Why are choppy videos “watchable”, but stuttering audio ruins the experience of hearing something?

Both experiences are sub-optiman, but I’ve noticed people are more lenient to watch something that is choppy than listening to something (in the form of pure audio or paired up with a video) with the same level of stuttering.

When a video is choppy, it just stays still/unchanged for a few milliseconds.

When audio stutters it goes silent for a few milliseconds. That’s a change.

The visual equivalent to stuttering audio would be if the image would flash black every time it stutters.
