After 40 years of exploring a personal hearing barrier, you have enabled me to put a label on it.....once I felt comfortable with this term I felt compelled to explore further only to find VPD, unilateral neglect, motion blindness, face blindness -- oh such a Pandaor's Box and the good news is that I have been able to live a life of quality...for others - believe in yourselves M. Nightingale
it became apparent at 38 when I got fatigued and now am trying to figure out what I did to overcome the challenges as I went through school and higer education and how do I know what I did or can do to learn now 😅 I definitely seem to focus on what someone is saying if am writing it down and can re-read without distraction to comprehend it.
I am (a very young :) ) 61. I recently read through my K through 4 report cards and the teachers each described exactly the symptoms discussed here, and also the expected problems I had early on acquiring reading and spelling, requiring a quiet class room in order to do well, etc. This was quite a revelation to me because it explains so much. One question I have is are you only born with this, or can it be acquired later in childhood from sickness, injury, or lack of adequate verbal interaction as an infant?
No, you normally develop it at a young age, well for me anyways, this can be from glue ear like myself, I recommend the NHS website for APD as I know it says what can cause it.
Hearing her talk is difficult,the mike is not good BUT the music in the background is drowning her , I hear it and forget what they are saying.I am 72 and this helped me understand all the problem I had at school, and any other places back in the sixties. I hear with exquisite clarity the tiniest noises in a very quiet place , but add a boiling kettle I cannot hear my wife talking to me or a TV going. I remember a physics class where intermittent noise with increasing frequencies was being produced, I was able to hear WAY higher up the scale than any of the others ,to the extent I was called a liar by the kids. I also could hear what I now know to be the lower bat noises when in the outside . However now the tinnitus takes away the ability to hear clearly now, it is a permanent white noise whistle to me, but comes and goes.
This is about a challenge that has to do with auditory distraction but yet they put music in the back ground how am I to learn??? if I All I hear is few words here n there and the music
You probably got an answer by watching other videos but I might as well throw it out there. It varies from person to person, but what I personally did (ranging from when I could first talk in a coherent way to later, I should note that we caught mine very early on and started treating it ASAP): I truncated things (instead of saying "Peter Pan" or "Beauty and the Beast" I would just say "Pan" or "Beast"...not because I didn't know *how* to talk or that my vocab was limited, but because I couldn't process sentence order or how it worked cause remember this is a processing disorder), unable to follow auditory directions (you might only catch pieces of it or none at all), mishearing someone and asking them to repeat a sentence over and over (maybe even 5-10 times over) just cause it sounds like a jumbled mess, feeling extremely exhausted from having to intensely concentrate on what people are saying lest you ask them to repeat the sentence a thousand times or you just become lost. Unable to understand tone of voice is hard (like picking up on other people's sarcasm), I actually don't have *that* hard a time with it (it might be because my mom is very expressive, and we caught my condition early on....but there are times where I trip up and can't read the tone of voice), I personally have a hard time emulating sarcasm myself (as people think I'm being serious like I legit told some girls in my class "I'm always cold cause I'm cold blooded." And they were looking at me with legit shock and awe asking I had to sleep in a heating bed or something to stay warm at night and when I told them I was being sarcastic they were generally surprised and thought I was serious!) So yeah those are just *some* symptoms/things to look out for but it's not all of them.
I have this problem. I know you’re getting a delayed response. I was diagnosed by this when I was in kindergarten. Schools can test your child if they’re struggling in school. I struggled in preschool and was held back, so I wasn’t behind the other kids.
Where is help for adults? when you did not get help, when you "were a child?", "in school?.." Seriously, please where can an adult go/be to receive the help I deserved when I was a kid? This stuff is not diagnosed, with the exception of obvious dyslexia. This is messing with not only my head, my interactions with others, because In dont have friends anymore. because of this. Please, how do I get help.. people wont even believe me.. crying out loud!!!
This series is great! For anyone who's ever had to teach a group, and wondered why some were slower to grasp the material, it is a huge relief.
I have Auditory Processing Disorder. Most of my life I've been told my teachers, family, friends, strangers, "You don't listen". Now I know why.
Tudor Miller I have this problem too! You’re not alone. This TH-cam is like a small community of us lol 😂
Glad this has captions, in your videos about processing disorders please remove the backing track!
I love watching these videos. I was diagnosed with a processing disorder. We’re a small community, but I’m happy that I don’t feel alone anymore.
I can't hear her quite well. I think her mic is a little bit far from her.
I find it interesting that you are playing music, when you clearly were educated my your guest that background noise is hard for APD people...
You are very knowledgable on the issue. Thank you!

makes me wonder it's why I like IMs and FB more then physical verbal communication.
I have APD and I believe that is exactly why I prefer to text than talk on the phone.
Please remove the background noise on your videos

omg i can't listen to her properly... that background track is horribly distracting
Yes it is doing my head in! Ironic really when they are talking about people trying to concentrate with background noise going on!
Same here. There's a higher pitched sound in the background music and I kept mistaking it for my cat meowing to get back in!
Captioning works with the video and I use captioning so I can understand what is being said.
the irony, right? 😣 i must however say i really appreciate this video and the knowledge they wish to convey
This is about a challenge that has to do with auditory distraction but yet they put music in the back ground how am I to learn??? if I All I hear is few words here n there and the music
Wonder if auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is the same ?
Maybe whole class auditory isolation could help children focus. By using noise canceling headphones linked to a microphone that the teacher wears.
what are some of the symptoms to notice in a child who might have auditory processing disorder? What would one look for? unable to pay attention?

This is more information for me Thankyou.
You can turn on the closed caption.
As someone with apd, this video was a nightmare to listen to…. Background noise and her weird low tone voice…. I can not
Where is help for adults? when you did not get help, when you "were a child?", "in school?.." Seriously, please where can an adult go/be to receive the help I deserved when I was a kid?

?Pay for help I deserved to receive in school? at home? Americans With Disabilities act says other... well, no, not exactly unfortunately... Why?????
How ironic. You cant bare to listem to this audio. Please change it. Awful
Can’t be genes....
