I don't have an answer because I am struggling with this myself, as I try to learn Spanish.
The approach I am taking is to search for examples of spoken Spanish to listen to that are just at, or just slightly beyond my ability to understand.
If there are subtitles or a written transcript, I try not to use them the first time because reading seems to be a crutch that develops my reading skill without developing my listening skill. I use recordings so that I can listen several times. Usually I will understand more at the second hearing, and even more at the third.
I also force myself to listen to Spanish television programs even though I can't understand them.
I don't know good resources English is; I've found "The News in Slow Spanish" to be so helpful that I'm willing to pay for it.
I've heard somewhere that it helps to listen to a foreign language and repeat what you are hearing out loud at the same time as you listen. I sometimes do that, and I do think it helps me in some way that I can't put my finger on. Does it help me to listen? Possibly, because the task of repeating it means that I do not get enough time to mentally translate into English and therefore am forced to experience the language directly.
