Wherever you are, you must hear. Without hearing, you will lack inspiration to serve on the platform of vaidhi-sadhana-bhakti. Srila Rupa Goswami explains that on the spontaneous platform, the inspiration comes from one's spontaneous attraction to the service itself. On the platform of vaidhi-sadhana, the inspiration comes from the instructions of the spiritual master and from the scriptures. On both platforms of bhakti, there must be inspiration. If you are not hearing and not associating with those who are giving you inspiration, then you must seek it out.
