Socks,

Lightrail and Mark covered most everything but I will just add a couple things from my experience--

Insurance did cover my testing and mine took about 10 hours over a 2 day period. Originally, I was only scheduled for 1 day but as the testing was proceeding and the neuropsych would gauge the progress he was adding different tests.

Also, we had to go into a second day BC my attention/focus started to wane and I needed rest. The tests need your best effort and so they can be spread out to ensure you are not overly taxed in order to be most accurate.

In addition to the interviews, my eval involved 23 different tests--which I won't bother to list here. It also took my NeuroPsych a lot longer than a couple days to prepare the written report.

Can I also encourage you to go to a store like a Best Buy and try on a pair on noise canceling headphones?

I first joined this forum around Chriatmas and read others recommend them. I--much like you--didn't think it would help much. BUT then I tried them on and I felt tension melt that I had no idea I was even experiencing from all the noise around me!!

I really truly hated to spend that $300 but for 4 months now these have been my best friend! They allow me to get along in situations that I otherwise had significant trouble with before them.

I am hoping to get in to see an audiologist soon and discuss getting these specially made earplugs that musicians use that I have read about which has helped PcS sufferers as well.

If you have any more questions specifically about what I have shared, don't hesitate to message me and I will try to respond prom0tly.
