Is it Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)?
CAPD is a prime example of why it is crucial to test both the ears and the brain. This disorder is often misdiagnosed as a hearing issue, when you may just have difficulty differentiating between words that sound similar. You may also relate to these symptoms:
- Normal hearing test results, but the issues persist
- Difficulty following quick conversations
- Difficulty learning songs
- Problems reading, spelling, and learning
- Distracted by background noises
- Constantly asking people to repeat themselves
