Hi,
Were you diagnosed as an auditory learner in high school?
Do you have any paperwork for that?

Your college probably has a Disabilities Office (each school calls it something else). Call the Dean of Students Office -- or whatever that office is called at your school.
Or simply call that counseling office again and tell them you need to talk to them about your special situation.

You can register with that office that you are an auditory learner. Then you can get permission to record lectures if you want -- that way you do not have to worry about typing every word.

You might even get permission for someone else to take notes for you.

Also, you can let them know that you get panic attacks.

Look into the services that the school provides. You do not have to do this by yourself. The school can help you in ways that you have not considered yet.
