Wow!

Your post on the auditory processing disorder took my breath away as it describes my difficulties and panic when I try to have conversations (with my children, husband, neighbors, even doctors)!

I cringe when the phone rings (but I have 3 kids so I have to answer!). I cannot really follow conversations beyond the weather. Any conversation conveying steps or information is torment. It is so hard to take notes even!

I also mishear (train for tray, etc) all the time.

I mean I have a PhD, wrote books, and gave lectures internationally - so I use to be smart. But now--I cannot read and it is so hard to listen (because we hear so much)!

If not an ENT, then what kind of specialist? I'll ask tomorrow and see what the doctor says.

Thanks SO much-I feel so empowered now. You are all so great.
