      Maybe my hyperacusis is turning into this, acquired auditory processing disorder. Can anyone else relate to the symptoms below?

      Auditory processing disorder:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_processing_disorder

      Many people experience problems with learning and day-to-day tasks with difficulties over time. Adults with this disorder can experience the signs and symptoms below:

      • talk louder than necessary
      • have trouble remembering a list or sequence
      • often need words or sentences repeated
      • have poor ability to memorize information learned by listening
      • interpret words too literally
      • need assistance hearing clearly in noisy environments
      • rely on accommodation and modification strategies
      • find or request a quiet work space away from others
      • request written material when attending oral presentations
      • ask for directions to be given one step at a time
      More symptoms:

      • Difficulty hearing in noise
      • Auditory attention problems
      • Better understanding in one on one situations
      • Difficulties in noise localization
      • Difficulties in remembering oral information
      This bit is interesting: "The ability to listen to and comprehend multiple messages at the same time is a trait that is heavily influenced by our genes"

      Just wanted to add this link:

      Very interesting cases. Case 3 is interesting, because doctors considered that with such a degree of hearing loss the patient could be fitted with aids. However, nowadays many doctors just dismiss a hearing loss like that and suggest just to forget about it...
