The Transcription Technique is a super effective way to work on your listening. The core idea is: First listen without any text, and type what you hear. After you've transcribed a few lines, go back and listen again with subtitles on. Mark all your mistakes on your transcript. This is by far the best language learning exercise I know. It helps you improve your listening, speaking, writing, grammar, vocabulary, etc.

You can do Transcription exercises with pen and paper, or with a document on your computer. But the most straightforward way are the eartraining Anki flashcards I'm creating. You can find the flashcards for this story here. The deck is just $5:
