"J'ai écouté la prof." How would you say "I listened to her." ?

The answer given is je l'ai ecoutee. Why isn't it Je lui ai ecoutee, as we are listening to her? Ah, is is because it's not a transitive 'to', ?

This question relates to:French lesson "Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)"
