Auditory processing

[Guest guest]

Kent,

Not sure if you were responding to me or not. But I'll answer anyway. Yes,

I well remember normal hearing. I have only been deaf 14 years, I am 51.

CI hearing, while somewhat more electronic, is very close to normal hearing

for me. It's good enough. My pastor always says, any day above ground is a

good day.

Hi,

That's good to hear that you had a good life, and I hope that you still

do. :-) You are still alive, right?

Since you are late-deafened, do you remember how it was like to hear and

to hear with CI similar? Did you have to learn to improve the auditory

processing?

That's a good phrase because I currently am struggling with the

associations between sounds and words. My speech pathologist noted a huge

improvement today that I was able to pick up the words, and I learned to

" let it go " so that the brain can actually process the sounds and apply them

to the words.

, I'm glad you told us that about normal hearing, because I've been

wondering how I was I to know if it sounded normal. I've been deaf for 43

years, I just got my activation this week and I'm wondering am I doing

everything

right. I'm trying too but how am I to know if that's what I'm suppose to do.

Well I work nights so every one have a good day, I'm heading off to bed.

Just got home. Patsy

A ST can help with auditory processing. Also, an audiologist could be helpful.

Is it a speech therapist that you would go to for Auditory processing problems? Thanks

My son had his eval done by an audiologist that specializes in auditory

processing disorders.

Hi there ~

Our son was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder several years ago when

he was like 6 or 7 years old. He's now almost 17 and doing quite well. He went

through quite a bit of speech therapy and a special class or two through school

and privately, and it all has paid off. Not that you can't notice it on

occasion, but most people wouldn't know that he had APD now. How old is your

child?

I want to tell you something interesting that my 13 year old son told me about

his auditory processing difficulty. According to him, when he has difficulty

listening and following directions, he tries to anticipate what a person will

say - he said his mind races so that it is hard to concentrate on what is being

said. I just called him over to clarify this. He said it is correct, " it's an

uncontrollable thing " .

Let me make clear that the only reason he STILL has auditory processing issues

is because he is chelating and has this problem at the end of the rounds. The

only other time he has it is when he eats a food he is intolerant of. My guess

is that many of these symptoms have to do with impaired blood flow.
