I would say that an inability to learn from auditory information at age 4 is likely to involve some sort of disability. Maybe a preference for learning things visually is to some extent compensatory in your son. I'd definitely get him tested.

Out of curiosity, did he have sinus/adenoid/tonsil issues that could have impacted his hearing early on?
