![]() Oh my god I could never tell what the hell I was hearing. But when I had to do dictations for my music classes? Like, the professor would tell us the key and time signature and then play a tune that was several measures long and we had to correctly write down what we heard on staff paper. I actually did A capella when I was in high school, and when I'm singing I have no difficult staying in tune and can harmonize with something on the spot with little difficulty (not tryna flex lol). something that was written down/said over text (which idk how normal that is by itself, but damn it definitely impacts my life daily to a greater degree than the people around me), I need to look up lyrics for songs more often than not, etc.īut for music I have a decently good ear. For me it's weird, like, I don't have severe auditory processing issues, but I often have to ask people to repeat themselves, subtitles are a requirement when watching TV, I have a much more difficult time remembering things that someone told me verbally vs. Oh my god, I'm a music major and this is relatable as heck. But it took a lot more time and effort than it should have considering I had been a musician.īut my ears are fine. I did get better at it and that is easy for me and usually I can pick out chord qualities by listening, at least in simple songs. ![]() Eventually I could, but considering I already had known how to play an instrument for over 10 years at that point that was not something that should have been hard for me. I could hear if a pitch was higher or lower if there was a visual representation of it like sheet music or a fretboard, but I couldn’t hear if a pitch was higher or lower just by listening. This is the crazy part - as the basic first stages of the app, it would give you a pitch and and a second pitch and you had to indicate that the second pitch was higher or lower. But I have an especially weird one - I can read sheet music and have always understood how to find a higher or lower pitch on a visual instrument like a guitar or keyboard.īut when I decided to really try to get better at guitar and couldn’t listen do simple things like figuring out a strum pattern by listening to it I figured I must be missing some fundamental skills. Yeah I have to look up lyrics to songs so I can hear them when the song is playing, sometimes I have a hard time listening when people talk to me. is an Adjunct Professor at theUniversity of Cincinnati - College of Allied Health Sciences - Department of Communications Sciences and Disorders. ![]() In all cases we do well to describe children's auditory behaviors, their strengths and weaknesses, and develop management programs that help to alleviate the listening problems experienced by children to help them achieve at their highest level. Clinically, while we can sometimes differentiate between the two disorders we should recognize that they often co-exist along with other problems such as language disorders. So, the question you ask is still being debated. At least one author believes that ADHD and cognitive disorders are the prevailing problem among children diagnosed as having APD, and that few children are specifically APD. On the other hand it is true that both groups might benefit from classroom management to include even assistive listening devices to help focus listening and attention.Īt another level, many of the position papers published over the last 15 years acknowledge the difficulty of recognizing the comorbidity of APD and ADHD. One reason to appropriately identify APD versus ADHD is that APD is not treated with stimulant medication. That is not always the case and audiologists who are involved in the assessment of individuals with APD work to see when they can differentiate between the two disorders. There is no question that APD and ADHD can, and often do, co-exist. ![]() ![]() Question Can Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) co-exist? I have a patient who was diagnosed with ADHD first and then APD. ![]()
