Went to an Audiologist last week and he told me I have exceptional hearing and that my problems are probably with my processing. He told me about some specialists that could diagnose me but they are very far away and expensive.
He also told me that our processing skills peak around 35. I've been reading a book on auditory processing and it talks about some people start to loose some processing skills around that age and being 33 this really scares me because I remember what it was like when I was a kid and I really couldn't understand most of what people where talking about.
I guess I just don't know what to do. I kind of had my hopes up that the audiologist could help. I'm going to be a dad in march and I don't want to just avoid people anymore. I see some other people have posted on this forum about APD and I see a lot of similarities with hard of hearing people so I guess I'm hoping someone has some advice for me.
