Hah, I have the same answers to those questions. Had my hearing checked repeatedly, and it always comes back as fine. I usually hear real sounds others don't. But I can't keep up with conversations, or remember words said to me. Still trying to figure this out.

The learning difficulties one hit hard 😢 no matter how hard I tried to hear the teacher I just couldn’t. It made learning so incredibly difficult. Every once in a while I would get a good teacher who would take me aside into a quiet area and teach me something one on one, and I would understand it almost immediately and stop struggling. I just couldn’t learn in a classroom setting trying to listen to the teacher at the front of the room. There is not enough help for kids with this disorder, and most of us still struggle as adults.

Please, I couldn’t find anyone to give me help with APD. I tried.

Do any of you suffer from hearing music out of tune ? My extensive iTunes library is slowly diminishing. Some tracks are still ok . But most have one problem or another. Instruments missing vocals missing. Out of tune. Especially piano. But the same tune played on guitar sounds ok . I’ve got the rest of symptoms though. Hearing people ok but not understanding. Not coping in noisy environments. Good job I’m a complete introvert that actually seeks solitude. I’m missing my music though. Oh yeah, forgot. With me location is everything. Different rooms have different acoustics. And I can talk all day on the phone to my brother but struggle to understand anything he says face to face. Bloody weird

Thank you sooo much TnT

Notice the difference in Jackie's body language between two videos. In the first she points one ear toward the speaking person (I do so), closes her eyes (I do so or just stare into empty space) and she's so tense. In the second video she's much more relaxed, she doesn't have to move her whole body forward to focus on listening. Ah. I want it too

I found out I had APD as an adult. My friends son had it and I knew I absolutely had it as well. I've spent my entire life feeling stupid. It affects every part of my life. The worst thing is the feeling of not understanding...not getting it....feeling out of the loop...and feeling stupid. To this day I have recieved no help for it. My only consolation is I know I have it.

I never knew what I had until today, I first noticed it 40 years ago standing with a friend, another friends, 50 feet away and a airplane is flying over, the friend said something to us and the guy next to me answered him, I said, how did you hear what he said, and he looked at me and said how did you not?

I'm highly skeptical to APD is treatable. Also there is no privilege associated with APD. I find the tone deaf narration of this video to be insulting

I can hear a fly buzzing in another room , but can't understand what people are saying, especially when a jet passes overhead.

Im tired of getting yelled at , because "im not listening, " when im listening as hard as i can, and i asked to clarify part of it because I *CARE*.

The second list of quesions was a completely different set of questions though, it should be the exact same set of questions

These sound like two completely different people. The first one has a Hispanic type accent and second woman sounded from the UK…

Dyslexia was one idea I thought my kid had based of so patterns and number sequence deficiencies like ten fingers up and if I took away one hand away it was still hard to simply say 5. But since then has passed regents math. Now has issues with small talk, listening but doesn’t get triggered by answers in a conversation in other words it doesn’t prompt to asking another question or perhaps see the importance of asking as another question or the need to know or see what you might want to know about this person it’s just not there.

She's not lying! I feel about the same or worse in some areas. It's hard to live with. Mine is due to brain damage.

Dr can you suggest any one APD specialist for my daughter 6 yrs old treatment, we live in Southern California orange county please. I am happy to find the problem I. Her bcos of u

Wow. All my life I have been thinking that I have some problems with hearing. Some sounds I don't hear/understand at all, others I assume I hear (but actually I rely more on reading and literally pronounce some sounds like nonoen else). I was 36 when I realised that people don't pronounce the G sound in thing, string, fling, etc.

Honestly I wonder if APD is a mix of ADHD and/or language disorders or autism. You see all these comments who've been diagnosed with them asking if they have APD. APD's not officially recognized in the DSM 5 too so that's my theory

In English we usually pronounce "adults" with the accent on the second syllable. Is there a reason you are saying it on the first? Is it academic?

Are u in Manitoba

Dang okay, I spent the entirety of elementary and middle school just quietly eating at lunch because I couldn’t understand a dang thing anyone was saying in the crowded lunchroom. Thought I was just weird I guess. It got better to deal with in high school when there weren’t hundreds of us condensed in the same room but I would still have moments. Honestly it’s still a trick to tell the difference between left and right if gps is reading it off. Cool to know that there is treatment, I didn’t know that was a thing.

Are there any informal treatment options for treating suspected ASD? I have a friend who struggles to hear people over the phone and sometimes says words just don't compute to them. I'm not sure this is ASD but there should be something that can be done to help them, right? This problem is affecting their professional and personal life and I wish I was more aware of treatment options.

A new co-worker that asked me a question resulted in a sad co-worker. He asked me “who pulls out the trucks”. I thought he said “pull out the trucks”….. I told him to pull out his own damn truck…. That was in 1986…. We still laugh about it to this day….. I still struggle with comprehension.

Cool

The screens do advance faster than the audio, though... it could be realigned a bit?

Cool

Me and my mom for sure have this. It is fkng frustrating lol I will just nodd my head most the time. I’ve had a lot of foreign people tell me I’m so easy to talk to because I talk loud and clear I said yeah that’s the only way I can understand anything unfortunately

Honey, thank you. This validates me. I'm certain my mom has undiagnosed APD and I never looked into it for fear of being her. My parents took me to a learning specialist when I was a kid. I don't remember what for. I had thousands of ear infections as a kid and as an adult, sometimes struggle to hear friends and following group conversations feels exhausting. Where can I see you haha?

The speaking mistakes you made in this video were small, but made it quite difficilt for me (as soneone with APD) to follow. When my brain has to stop, rewind, and re-record multiple times, it's hard to absorb and retain a list of things. Otherwise, thank you :-D

Why do you talk so damn slow?

I have so many issues with this video

I’m getting tested soon to get a diagnosis and some help, but I didn’t know it was treatable, I thought it was something you could get support for. This gives me hope! Thanks!

This really affects my social life. Bars, clubs and restaurants I can’t hear a thing people say so it’s such a lonely experience. I take things the wrong way which leads to paranoia and anxiety. I never remember peoples names as well. I’ve been referred to be tested for ASD so maybe it’s all linked.

I am also not good at using different words for the same object for political reasons. Like marijuana plants I tend to call all cannibas plants marijuana and make no distinction. I tend to say squid instead of the fancy word for it.

It can almost get you arrested for using the wrong word. I was in a Walgreens I needed aspirin and was thinking aspirin but the word anavar was coming out. There was a cop there and I was detained and investigated and written a criminal trespass.

What is it called when you only seem to have auditory processing problems when taking notes? (You can't process what is currently being said when you are taking notes).

The Buffalo Model works as a treatment for APD by providing specific therapies that target the underlying auditory skills that are impaired in each category of APD. The therapies are based on the principles of auditory training, which is the use of structured and systematic exercises to improve the perception and processing of auditory stimuli. The therapies are designed to enhance the auditory system's ability to filter out noise, integrate information from both ears, store and recall auditory information, and manipulate sounds. The therapies are also tailored to the individual needs and goals of each child, taking into account their age, severity of APD, learning style, and academic performance. The therapies can be delivered in various settings, such as at home, in school, or in a clinic. The therapies can be done using recorded materials or live voice, depending on the child's preference and availability of resources. The therapies can also be combined with other interventions, such as language therapy, cognitive therapy, or educational accommodations, to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to APD management. Some examples of the therapies used in the Buffalo Model are: - Phonemic Synthesis Training: This therapy aims to improve decoding skills, which are the ability to analyze and identify sounds within words. The child is asked to blend individual sounds into words, such as /s/ /a/ /t/ into "sat". The difficulty level can be increased by using longer words, multisyllabic words, or words with complex sound patterns. - Speech-in-Noise Training: This therapy aims to improve tolerance-fading memory skills, which are the ability to understand speech in noisy environments and retain auditory information over time. The child is asked to repeat words or sentences that are presented with varying levels of background noise. The difficulty level can be increased by using longer or more complex sentences, faster speech rate, or lower signal-to-noise ratio. - Dichotic Listening Training: This therapy aims to improve integration skills, which are the ability to process information from both ears simultaneously and coordinate the responses from both hemispheres of the brain. The child is asked to listen to different stimuli presented to each ear and respond accordingly. For example, the child may be asked to repeat words or numbers presented to one ear while ignoring the other ear, or to repeat words or numbers presented to both ears in a specific order. - Auditory Memory Training: This therapy aims to improve organization skills, which are the ability to sequence and categorize auditory information and use strategies to enhance memory recall. The child is asked to remember and repeat lists of words or numbers that are presented in a certain order or grouped by a certain criterion. For example, the child may be asked to repeat words that start with the same letter, or numbers that are multiples of three. The Buffalo Model also uses a questionnaire to monitor the progress and outcomes of the therapy. The questionnaire has 48 items that deal with potential problems related to APD, such as difficulty following directions, understanding jokes, reading comprehension, spelling, or social skills¹. The questionnaire also has six types of therapy that can influence (improve) central test results¹. The questionnaire can be completed by the child, the parent, the teacher, or the therapist before and after therapy. The questionnaire can help identify the areas of improvement and the areas that need more attention. The Buffalo Model is one of the most widely used and evidence-based approaches to APD evaluation and therapy². It has been shown to produce significant improvements in auditory processing abilities in children with APD². It has also been reported to result in noticeable improvements in listening, learning, academic performance, and social communication interactions².

My grandson is really suffering. He just began kindergarten, they diagnosed him with ADHD, but even his Occ. Therapist said that doesn’t fit. He is so frustrated, and exhausted every day. I’ve seen him not “hear” his name waiting for pick up and then be confused that the teachers are frustrated they’ve been calling him. I was a teacher for years and my so had APD. My son-in-law, grandson’s dad, also had as a child. We are in South Texas. Where and who will help us do these assessments and get these therapies? I will take him anywhere! Please.

Not me saying “huh” and “what” to the questions the doctor asked Jackie.

I went to a speech therapist because I thought I had DLD due to difficulty expressing myself but with the tests showing really poor “recalling sentences” I was suspected of having APD. I struggle to figure out how APD could cause / affect my verbal fluency/ communication skills though. Is it linked to how the brain puts together your thoughts before you speak or something?

I've always thought I was just dumb or hard of hearing 😂😂
