I'm so sorry that I asked you to repeat a question & answered it halfway through you repeating it.
It will happen again.

Hold on, I'm flipping the video to full-screen mode so I can hear the audio more clearly.

normal vs disordered: auditory processing
normal: not being able to hear someone properly when it’s noisy or you’re “in the zone”
not normal: not being able to hear someone properly when you’re looking directly at them
normal: putting the subtitles on if it’s in a different language or the actors are being quiet
not normal: not being able to hear what actors are saying unless you have subtitles there
normal: mishearing someone when they’re talking too fast or mumbling or saying unfamiliar words
not normal: you have times when it feels like everyone around you is speaking a different language
normal: you can’t make out all the lyrics in a song the first couple times you hear it
not normal: you’re resigned to the fact that song lyrics will always be a mystery to you (unless you google them)
normal: it takes a couple seconds to realise someone is talking to if you’re currently doing something else
not normal: your brain feels like it’s “on lag” when taking in auditory input
if your hearing is otherwise “normal” and yet you’ve always struggled to understand what people are trying to say to you — that’s likely to be an auditory processing issue. it usually comes along with another disorder, such as autism or ADHD or SPD

One actual drawback to developing an interest in smaller local artists as a probably low-intermediate language learner with shitty hearing/auditory processing: good luck finding published lyrics!
Brought to you by another afternoon of " I can only make out a few words and phrases here and there. But it sounds pretty cool, and I will of course try to sing along regardless."

situational mutism and hating voice
auditory "aberrant efferent activity during vocalization is implicated in SM maintenance."
this means perception of sound of own voice.
"Self-report of children with SM describing peculiarity in the perception of their own voice such as ‘my voice sounds funny and I don’t want others to hear it’ (Black and Uhde, 1992) or ‘my brain won’t let me speak because my voice sounds strange’ (Boon, 1994) provided initial anecdotal support to our conjecture."
source: Henkin and Bar-Haim, 2015
folks with sm often have speech problems that make them aware and self conscious of own voice. or maybe were criticised/mocked for it.
am very aware of how voice sounds, and have developed belief that it is fundamentally strange-sounding, unchangeable, irredeemable and wrong.
thought this was just the voice dysphoria but no. constantly think about how voice is going to sound before speak, and this stops me saying certain words, especially “hi” also harder to initiate conversations because of it. when just responding to someone, it’s like less confrontational and there’s more chance of them hearing you, because they’re already focused on you.
also always negatively evaluate own voice after speaking. brain just replays it over and over in head. hate it. think also being trans makes more anxiety because scared of being clocked by voice, and all the negative consequences that could bring. 🌹🌹

The idea that I might actually have Auditory Processing difficulties seemed ridiculous to me at first. I can hear really well. I'm constantly hearing stuff nobody else can hear (and I don't just mean auditory hallucinations). I never liked subtitles on movies, even ones in languages I barely understand. I'd rather watch two aliens talk for an hour and have no idea what they're saying than turn on subs. But that's also a thing like... I am really good at interpreting context clues and inferring. Maybe I get that from the way I'd always find my dad half-way through old movies that he'd refuse to explain to me. Maybe from living in places where I didn't speak the local languages.
On the other hand I have always done that thing where someone will say something to me and I'll say "what?" and then when they're halfway through repeating it I'm already answering. So clearly there is a delay. A coworker called me out on it today after I did it three times in a row. The third time he just stared at me until I caught up. I've noticed recently that the auditory processing issue only seems to happen in situations where I'm trying to get a grip on what's happening. As soon as I get in sync and on task, it goes away. I just have to already know what someone is about to say to me and then I hear it just fine.

Working customer service with auditory processing issues is asking customers to spell things out or show you a picture after the customer has already told you more than twice what they want.

passively listening to music meaning you haven't made the conscious choice to specifically listen to the lyrics
(bonus: tag your answer and what kind of music you usually listen to)
I'm asking because i can almost never hear lyrics unless the singer has really good diction and I'm wondering if I'm in the minority or not
reblog for containment sample breach size etc. etc.

Does anyone else panic when you're having a conversation with someone and they're taking faster than what you can understand?
It's like everyone's brain is using Google, but I'm running Internet Explorer.
I barely have any social skills to begin with, but now you're talking way too fast & I feel dumb asking you to slow down & repeat it.

funny how when i was eleven i thought i had, like, superpower hearing because i could hear things others couldn't (ex. what two people at the end of an empty hallway are talking) but then i understood that i can't hear shit when it's the person sitting next to me in class saying something or when we are in the loud corridors or the cafeteria during the break.

Does anyone else ever feel like music reaches every single part of you? Reverberates through every layer of consciousness all the way down to your lizard brain? Like your hearing and processing organs are more like an octopus’ brain and they carry it across every limb and into your very core so it seems to shape the entire world?

As someone with sometimes-not-so-great auditory processing, I feel a little resentment of the way, ever since Taxi Driver, the phrase “are you talking to me?” has carried a kind of aggressive, thuggish tone. I am often honestly confused about who is and isn’t talking to me.
(I don’t think most people I say this to recoil in fear that I’m about to pull .38 special on them, but still.)
