RE: Hearing better at certain times of the day?

[Guest guest]

Dan, I hear better as the day starts, and after listening all day, straining to

listen, I have auditory fatigue and by the end of the day it's a struggle.

I know this because I use my phone amplifier on low in the morning, and by the

end of the day it's all the way to the top.

Subject: Hearing better at certain times of the day?

Hello everyone,

While I was doing some listening exercises at home, I noticed I seem to do

better at certain times of the day like around 5 or 6 pm as opposed to doing

them earlier in the day. And as I went along doing more exercises, some in

mornings and others in late afternoons or early evenings, it does seem to be the

case. For some reason, the sounds seem to be more crisp later in the day?

That although I'm taking an hiatus from audio verbal therapy. However, if I were

to return later this year, I'll probably request to meet later in the day as

opposed to meeting in mornings in the past and will tell my therapist about

this. Cause there were times I felt I could have done a little better at some of

the sessions.

Has anyone else made the same observations? There might be a couple of reasons

on why this might be possible. One is that we sometime feel more groggy or even

more congested after first getting up and even after taking a shower (i.e.

shampoo). As then your " nasal passage " tend to clear up as the day goes along.

What do you think?

Perhaps, this will make a good research or study someday? LOL!
