Hello Tattoo2,

My daughter has epilepsy and was having a hard time in college. I had neuropsychological testing done, and the psychologist said she scored low on the verbal memory portion. I noticed that her reading comprehension was lower than I expected. On my own, I decided to have her tested for auditory processing, even though she had maybe one of the ten symptoms. It turned out that she did have auditory processing problems, and it affects your reading comprehension. The audiologist told me that, even though you are reading silently, your brain processes the words as if they were speech. In my daughters case, her seizure focus is on her right side, and it is her left ear that has the processing problem. Her hearing is normal, but through testing we found out that if she is listening to speech or reading with competing noise, she will not process the information well. An assistive device (FM system) was recommended. Don't know if this is your reading problem but thought I would mention it.
