Maybe. But finding someone who is skilled in the area of auditory processing disorder may be good to talk to as there could be ways to treat whatever it is you think you might have... thanks for your comment. Hopefully our other videos may be helpful to you also.

Your welcome. The noise you are referring to is more than likely the air conditioning in the office, which was quite loud at the time of recording and could not be switched off. But, as you say, people who suffer with this condition are the most likely to be distracted by it. If there are particular areas of auditory processing disorder you would like to know about, let us know as we use this feedback to generate more videos.

well, I've never been formally diagnosed with APD, but I always mishear things, blank out, or just plain don't understand what you're saying. My doctor had my hearing tested and apparently, I've got perfect hearing. Her reason for my mishearing and inability to remember spoken information is that my brain processes information differently. I'm a high school student and the concentration required for me to pay attention in class wears me out. I suspect that I've got APD.

I think I have this myself. I always have trouble making out what people say becuase it comes out as giberish. Many people think I may be partially deaf, because in hearing tests where you push a button when you hear a noise, I get overwhelmed and often don't bush the button when I hear it. I think the only way one is going to be able to tell if I am truly hearing impared is to test my hearing the same way they test babies and animals.

Thank you for this video. Again, it is interesting to note that I have trouble concentrating on this video because of the slight "drumming" in the background. At the same time, in many ways it helps me to realize that I really do have this disorder.

Thank you very much for uploading Auditory Processing Disorder videos. It is very educational. I was diagnosed with APD in my school with the help of two audiologists and speech pathologists, I believe. Once again, thank you. :)
