Got an e-arc for a previously published book and listened to the audio - how do I review?

❔❓Question ❓❔

So like the title says, I got an e-arc of a book I didn't realize had previously been published (I'm assuming it's being trad published now), only to discover I had an audiobook for that same book. So I am kind of tandem reading/listening. The core story is the same, just some wording changes. My question is, since I am reviewing the arc, should I leave out the fact that I also listened to the audio? Or is it ok to include that in my review, but maybe state it was for a previously published version? I want to give kudos to the amazing narrators, but I want to make sure I navigate this situation correctly.
