AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER brainhearingjumble

This is a blog for information I find about Central Auditory Processing Disorder which is a brain hearing learning disability.

When you have APD and you’re watching a show where they have a eerie character that speaks in distorted echos.

normal vs disordered: auditory processing

normal: not being able to hear someone properly when it’s noisy or you’re “in the zone”

not normal: not being able to hear someone properly when you’re looking directly at them

normal: putting the subtitles on if it’s in a different language or the actors are being quiet

not normal: not being able to hear what actors are saying unless you have subtitles there

normal: mishearing someone when they’re talking too fast or mumbling or saying unfamiliar words

not normal: you have times when it feels like everyone around you is speaking a different language

normal: you can’t make out all the lyrics in a song the first couple times you hear it

not normal: you’re resigned to the fact that song lyrics will always be a mystery to you (unless you google them)

normal: it takes a couple seconds to realise someone is talking to if you’re currently doing something else

not normal: your brain feels like it’s “on lag” when taking in auditory input

if your hearing is otherwise “normal” and yet you’ve always struggled to understand what people are trying to say to you — that’s likely to be an auditory processing issue. it usually comes along with another disorder, such as autism or ADHD or SPD

when the music doesnt have captions

[I.D: A simple drawing of a person listening to music through headphones. The lyrics are shown though a thought bubble, they read "i make a (illegible scribbles) cool piano (more messy scribbles)". The person has a speech bubble that reads "this FUCKS." End I.D]

I feel like having auditory processing issues let's you enjoy music on a whole new level.

Me: I love being exhausted at the end of each day, trying to be normal.

Narrator: She in fact did not love killing herself to be normal but had to because neurotypicals think silence and no eye contact is shady, spineless, or "antisocial". This has, historically, cost neurodivergent people jobs and relationships from people who do no try to understand them but expect understanding for their own failures.

Sometimes I wish there were an option that allows me to activate subtitles on real life people so can finally fully process what they’re saying

I was looking through a Snoopy children’s book and found this relatable scene.

Auditory Processing Disorder feels: when you can’t understand a person and you’re too exhausted to decipher what’s being said so you throw in the towel for the day.

I read an interesting article in Psychology Today December 2022 issue. It was about thinking of dysexia as a strength in society that we need rather then a disorder. It made me think of what strengths people with Auditory Processing Problems contribute to the human race. Just a thought. 😊

Neurodivergent Tony Stark :: APD

Auditory Processing Disorder: hearing is normal but the brain has difficulty making sense of sound. Can be accommodated for with captions.

Having APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) is like being dyslexic in the ears

Auditory Processing Disorder confession: The thing that makes me most frustrated about my disorder is when I miss when a friend is being vocally bullied. I can be right there in the situation but because of my disability I can’t make out what’s being said. Later I’ll find out my friend was being being bullied. I’ll be there for them afterwards but I just wish I could have also been there for them when it was happening so I could protect them.
