As it stands, I believe evidence suggests that people may report to prefer a style, but it has no measurable impact on their learning.

Is it on primary education topics or advanced topics?
I certainly can't imagine learning mathematics or coding from a lecture without seeing the symbols. How else would I keep it all in my head[1]?
I don't know what the other 'learning styles' are so I can't really comment on them.
[1] - Surely some with physical impairments, i.e., the blind are capable of doing this as there are blind programmers who make amazing things. But that belies a lifetime of practice of not relying on one's sight.
The claim that the learning styles were debunked didn't jive with me because I had a very bad experience being taught German in school using only talking/speaking. And I feel like I need to have things written down to remember them. (For example, I cannot reproduce sounds - like foreign names - very easily, and I have hard time sorting them out. But if you write it down, I can relate it to other sounds and remember it.)
